Some pretty cool stuff

The miner pick was found stuck in a crotch of a tree, I worked it very slowly and was amazed when it came out intact. It is 15" long and is mean looking The railroad spike came from the Kinzua Bridge after it collapsed. The broken bolt is my personal favorite. I tripped over this piece of junk for years on my way to my favorite fishing hole and always threatened to bring a hack saw and cut it off. It was part of a slab of an old tank foundation. The last time I tripped on it I took a rock and gave it two light taps and it snapped right off. Who knew.

I thought for sure the end in the tree would break. How old do you think it is.

The area I found it is in Western PA, someone must have found it before me and stuck it in the tree because it was only in a few inches. I didn't think it was that old, I have never cleaned or treated it with anything. Thanks for the info.
