Some nails from today.

[Brian C.]

This site has many old hand maid nails, this site was the 1805 time period. These are for the iron lovers, I really enjoy the early iron.HH

You might like these as well, the old hammer was used for shoeing a horse, it is a little different, the spike is 10" long and the funny looking item, it came out of the same site I found the nails, I found part of an exploded cannon ball in the same field, this item I think was used for cleaning the bore of a 4lb cannon. It does look like any I have seen, but who knows. Nt.

Thanks for sharing those relics! They are very nice! Good job on the cleaning an preservation!

Here are a few pieces of iron I dug yesterday. They are still curing, so the wet chemical appears as blue in the photographs.

Thanks Creskol, old iron is always an intersting target, you never know what you will uncover. I use my garrett freedom ace for relic hunting for old iron, my whites 5900 does a fine job at finding small and deep targets. The muskett balls blew my ears off, nice finds you have there. I started to us dubbin on my iron items, I also use liquid floor wax.NT.
