Metal detecting finds

[Jaegers Forge and Foundry]

I decided to take my metal detector around my property and I'm glad I did.

first I found this huge thing of rebar that was around ten feet tall (It's bent) here's a picture of me next to it (I'm 5'10)

Next I found all these

Can anyone tell me what these are?

Wedge to split wood with a sledge

[Jaegers Forge and Foundry]

Thats what I thought.

Any idea if its good steel?

There are generally excellent steel to make wedges for splitting wood from.

Whether a steel alloy is "good" or not depends on what you want to make from it and the properties those items need.  Just like gasoline is a terrible fuel for your car---if you have a diesel engine in your car.

Another example: is 1005 steel "good"?

        I want to do a repousse belt buckle; would 1005 steel be good? YES, the extremely low carbon would make it easy to work.

        I want to make a fillet knife; would 1005 steel be good?  NO!  Can't harden it, won't keep an edge and will take a set easily in use.

Spark test it; they are often medium carbon steel; though I have run into some mild ones. High carbon wedges are not a good thing due to their greater danger of cracking or spalling.  If they test as mid C then hammer heads would be "good" and knife blades not so "good".
