Okay guys, a few years ago I was walking along the beach and I began talking to a man who does metal detecting for a hobby. I asked him what he had found that day and he held out two coins and a ship spike. (I had no idea that it was a ship spike of course). He said he had others at home so he gave me the spike to keep. It has a square head and is heavy, it also has some specs of something shiny in it. I remember him telling me that it was from a ship dating back to the 1800s and he also said something about the material having some specs of either gold, or silver in it. I would really like to know more about the history of the ships being built with these spikes and I would also like to know what material it is. Any info would be great!
