I just got back from scouting a new area...very near to where I've found Civil War relics and early 19th century house items here in west central Mississippi.
This site was littered with old pottery. I've included some of these pieces in the picture here - Blue Edge and transferware types, and one shard of a plate that I believe says "ironstone".
This tells me that this site is old. But what is this iron object I found. I thought it might be sometype of tent stake but it was threaded from the bottom of the piece to about 3/4 of the way up.
Any idea what this could have been to?
