I find a lot of old iron while metal detecting and I always wonder what it is. I made myself an account here because I think you guys would be the ones to know. My questions are
1) What are these little iron circles. They are completely flat on the back and were found in a grain field.
2) What was this spike used for? I can't imagine hammering that into wood with out splitting it.
3) Do you see those two little toes on the bend piece of iron? Is that a cutting technique I find a lot of iron with 2 toes?
Any ideas? thanks for the help
