This was found in a field in southern Indiana. It appears to be really old.

It could be a hitch pin for pulling farm equipment or a wagon. Give us a better idea of size.

It looks more like a big spike nail than a hitch pin to me. Hitch pins typically had less of a point and more of a "head" so it wouldn't fall through the hole in the hitch. But agree a size reference would help. Weird that the point looks pretty sharp in one view, but rounded on the other.

I have found many over the years in fields.
Granted they're no as sharp looking as this one, but they're survey pins.
In field locations the pins are moved around from plowing etc...

Could they be used for splitting wood ?

I'm with Pepper on this one, survey pin.

Agree. What kind of areas are you hunting fields, parks, house yards ? Might help us narrow it down for ya.
