Affraid it's just a old rusted into bolt.

"Square Head Bolts
From the early 20th century, these large bolts were reclaimed from post and beam industrial buildings like barns and trolley shops. They have a fabulous rusty color, and come in ½, 5/8 and ¾ inch widths and range in lengths from 8” to 16”."
Take Care,

that's a beam spike from when they notched beams together and used the spikes to keep them in place

Hello Fleeker. If you feel this is solved, do the same thing you did but to the original post and the green check will be there. Thanks.
