✅ SOLVED First find and curious

[K3sn3r]

So first time metal detecting today, and I found all 4 of these items in the woods of Wv around a known civil war battle site (the entire area is one). The item in question was found in what may have been a dried creek bed and I'm wondering if it's an old gig or possibly a topper for a flag pole?

Frog gig?

That's kind of what we was leaning towards and my friend that took me said you guys know more than him to ask here. My questions would be age and such having square prongs and the little one being bent in as far as it is

Cools finds. I have no idea what that hand thing is. Old back scratcher, maybe? Looks like you found some civil war bullets, though!

Defiantly civil war bullets the entire hill side is riddled with them my friend that took me said the horse shoe is most likely the same era

It looks smith made. Could be a gig.
