I copied pasted this from your other thread... perhaps to drive the point home... beings the other posts thus far have not...
"
But your are not listening to people who KNOW what you have...
YOU are the one ASKING US... and you dont like to responses because you think you already have it figured out... when you dont.
Besides... IF you already had and idea or knew what it was you found... WHY ASK ?... and then continue to try and make others see what you think you see.
SEE.... after 40+ years of handling this stuff... I for one... have an idea of what i am looking at.
As well as many others that have contributed to your thread opinions and knowledge."

Some times they would use nuts like that to attach bolts and cables to telephone poles and power poles
Oh , there were nuts.
It started with the wagon trains leader not being one to heed the advice of others.
Combined with his choice of guides. Though his attitude is what made finding a willing guide so difficult.
Two weeks of beans and biscuits later and after ignoring every suggestion of detours from his guide and instead charging forward the leader stood on a cliff looking at the wooden skeleton of a wagon at it's base.
"We'll lower the outfit one rig at a time right here" , he told his guide.
Here , hang on and let me help , the guide said ; unfastening his sword rig he'd won in the tavern shortly before meeting this "leader" needing his help. (?)
We'll tie my hanger around the rear axel of this first wagon and tie my bandanna on it for a parachute in case we slide the ropes too fast.
1,2,3 , PUSH!
The oxen bellowed briefly and then thudded hard the hundred feet below with the wagon close behind.
Train leader who'd never istened to the guides advice until the cliff then asked ,"maybe we should have unhooked the oxen first ?
What should we do now?"
The guide leaned over the edge looking at the freshly killed beefs , felt the edge of his sword to find it still sharp and looked at the leader to say , now we build a fire!
What your looking at is the crystal structure of a nut made from wrought iron.
I'm glade it made your day now let me get along with my day.
Those used by the utility's would have been galvanized to inhibit rust.
How do you propose telegraph wires were suspended?

Proof? Can you explain what redox reaction is?
Per old gun barrels it sure corrodes. Which is a form of rust. As blueing and browning barrels was a controlled rust to combat the "rapid" wasting..
Show me a non painted wrought iron railing the approximate age of your stripped nut that is clean as the day it was installed. Iron plus air equals rust. Add water to speed the process.
Rust's iron oxides being a substitute for sulfur in old gun powder recipes. Sulfur being an oxidizer. Just scrape the dry rust off an object to collect enough.
Yet rust is nonmetallic. Figure that out....
More so , what does the properties of wrought iron have to do with your claiming no poles existed along any portion of the Oregon trail since the first wagon used it and you allegedly stood on a site along it scrounging discarded objects?
You're forcing a narrative far out of context.
Floundering follows.

I'm just excited it was my first findDid you read my post telling you it is wrought iron?
what a find
www.treasurenet.com
Must be some alien life force from another planet made it out of a unknown to earth metal then.
Your pictured finds placement credibility , vs a wrought objects condition.
Sure , you recovered it unblemished.
Your story.
Rather than debate a magical unknown metal , I'll go elsewhere.
Congrats on your historic recoveries.
Hunt safe.
