Not a nail. Probably some piece of farm equipment.

Looks old, but beyond that I have no idea.

It reminds me of something that might have been used in timber or for logging. Maybe it came off of a telephone pole or something. What was the context that it was found...in a field, ditch, around a house or? Maybe look around the area and see if you can find one still in use.

found this one and a couple other ones just like it in a creek in the same area I found the 1/2 bell in a previous thread.i was thinking its some kind of nail used for boats.they salvaged parts of an old wooden boat out of this lake in the mid 1800's but I don't know.maybe somebody will still come along and identify it

Looks like what they used to hold concrete forms together.
