Dating Iron Relics

[Kiros32]

I have found several things, not sure what they are, but they appear to be pretty old. Is there a way to date iron? Personally, if I have found a piece of metal from the CW era, even it is nothing significant, it is still valuable to me. Can anyone help?

What did you find

I will be posting pictures tonight probably. I have found a slew of things that I cannot identify. I also took some pictures of the Homesite that I was talking about before and it does indeed have a cement foundation, so it is not very old. It also appears that someone has been "camping" back there, I saw probably 20 Sterno cans as if someone was cooking or just trying to stay warm. Kinda sad actually now that I think about it.

Stay tuned for the photos...

Dang!! Gypsy beat me to it. Line I was gonna use. Only reversed.
Don't be to quick to chuck your finds out the window. The foundation could of either, been updated. Or might have been placed where an older one had been. So they wouldn't have to do much to clear it of brush and trees. HH
