nails

I found this nail in a park in oklahoma city. I never gave it much thought until recently. Can anyone offer up and dates this could have been used. The area was part of the oklahoma land run but i think it dates further. I cannot find good image online. Measures 8in in length, one end is flat...

853080[/ATTACH] In our backyard in Concord Massachusetts we decided to dig a dead patch of grass and found a brick structure! From the archaeological dig, we found many types of nails. If anyone has any expertise in historic nail identification that would be so so helpful. From some quick...

Hi everyone, While walking the Coquille (southern coastal Oregon) near the ocean at high tide I found what looked like a piece of nasty dangerous beach trash, of which there is always far too much. But on further inspection this looks like a square nail. I've taken several photos in case...

Hi everyone, I've had my CTX for a couple of years now and really like it, but can't seem to avoid nails. I've tried changing all kinds of settings, watched tons of videos and read the book by Andy a few times and still can't seem to solve this problem. No matter what I changed, it still seems...

Surface find yesterday on a sandy slope that has been eroded by recent rains. Found in an area with a range of 20th century ceramic and glass fragments. Given the lack of rust I'm thinking it may be a more contemporary steel square nail rather than something more historic from the 1800s when...

Ive been exploring Canvey Island, in Essex, UK and came across a patch of ground covered in very old rusted nails and fixings, a hinge etc. The area is outside a Yacht Club, where there is shallow water and mad flats. The only explanation i can come up with is that a ship wreck used to be there...

If you know your house was the only house there EVER (via Historic Aerials) and it was built in 1980 (though nearby homes were built much earlier) and you keep finding nails in your back yard which used to just be woods, what to make of it? Standard fare junk annoyance for MD'rs? Or a clue to...

The following came from/around an old cellar hole that so far continually shows signs of being from the late 1700,s. Can anyone ID any of these iron objects? And, with the nails, why so many different sizes? This image below: there is a square nail sticking out of the large left one. All...

I bought a used Radio Shack Discovery 3000 (see BH Sharpshooter II) on eBay a couple years ago for the purpose of locating iron nails in horse paddocks and arenas. Most horse stables/properties are located on old agricultural land loaded with trash in the ground. Nails are the worst, and can...
