I just don't think it's part of the wrought iron fence from the cemetery. Husband thinks maybe something do with digging water wells.

Something was pressed on the end with the hole[serations on the shaft].

Hey RR, I'm thinking it is a cemetery flag pole. Interesting find, Breezie

PS: Stay out of the heat! It's been so hot in our area, even the catfish have ticks. Because of the heat/humidity, I go out from around 6:30-8:00pm

the threaded end looks like a gear shift handle missing a knob

My guess is a lightning rod?

Might be a well point.

I thought that, or drilling or maybe a Roman javelin

Even though it has the basic shape of a wellpoint IMO its NOT a wellpoint. I just hammered one in last year. They are usually 1-1/4 inch diameter or larger, are hollow all the way through and a screen or openings on the bottom for the water to enter.

So it cannot be a well point unless the entire pipe is hollow.. Is the entire pipe hollow?


It looks like an old driveshaft that someone grinded one end into a point.

I see the threaded top now but the splines make me think something automative or tractor related.

That's what I thought as well, something automotive related.
