1877 HOMESTEAD: METAL DETECTING CRAZY RELICS 3 

The tag was about 4” long. Do you know what kind of big it would have been used for?

I thought it was a fencepost too, when I fist found the upper portion in the dirt. The big question is, why would they bury it with the pointy side facing up? Thank you for your comment.

@@karenpicchi3772 When installing a fence post the points are down to slice through the dirt/ rocks when pounding it down. Over time falling trees, tractors, and animals bend the fence post. Often times when removing old posts the bottom snaps right off- too much effort to dig it out so farmers/people leave them. Likely there are more of them in a long ago removed fenceline.

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate your guess.
