Found these items yesterday all within inches of one another. At first we thought the cone shaped item was pice of jewelry. We found those three pieces first. Took everything back to the guys and they determined the cone is a tip for an arrow. But the three triangular pieces of iron have us stumped. Also found cans and bottle cap. This is a known burn pile|party spot. Thanks for looking!

Are those tinklers?

Such as the ones in this thread? I have never found them, so really dont know... but they seem to appear the same.

I don't think they are. I have to admit, that's what I was hoping I was holding in m hand! But the guys looked them over and determined it to be a tip to an arrow. The other 3 triangles are solid, heavy, flat, and the dirt was orange around them so that's why I said they were iron. I'm going to take them to a meeting tonight and see if any of the more experienced diggers there can figure it out. I'm thinking farm implement of some sort, maybe tips to a rake. So I'm not so excited anymore.:sad10:

Have you tested them with a magnet yet. First thought seeing the wire triangle and one of the points was what one would get from an old soldering kit attachments.

They could be iron wedges to hold wood handles in hammer heads.

Well, see, I get excited over everything I find in the ground. Yes the magnet did pick everything up. I forgot to mention that, sorry. A friend suggested they maybe broken tips from a farm implement, like rake. Oh well.

I think I will go back and search for more clues next time I get a chance to hunt. Thanks for looking!
