Hello, I found two of these lead nails… ? I don’t know what they are. Dug in the same town but 2 miles apart. The areas were yielding early 1800’s. A mile from a harbor. One is 2 1/2” and the other is 3 1/2”. Lead. Peened at the top. I showed a view people in the hobby and they don’t know. They seem to agree on the 1700’s. I’m new to the hobby. Would they make lead nails back in the day ? I’ve heard of lead headed nails for roofing… thank you the help. John
