Iron spike?

[HillBilly244]

Found this today on a permission that is well over 100 years old. I thought it was pretty neat but have no idea what it would have been used for? It's flat on one side.

Almost looks like a log rafting spike , but maby small for that, could be for a drive in hitching ring.

This is kind of similar. Not as toasted as what you found. Though I don't know what it is, I found it on an old wagon trail, near Santa Fe, NM. It does have threads in the hole. I believe it from the wagon itself or from some kind of rigging.

It does kind of look like log spike but too small i would think.

I agree, I found this in the middle of a CW camp. It might have been some handmade piece for their wagon or for some king of rigging.

looks like an old fence gate hinge I forget the name for them the other half would look similar with a pin sticking up and that part would slip over the pin
