Hey Spike, they are magnetic and they have little silver-lookin flakes in em. Dunno what kind of metal has those flakes in em..maybe grey cast iron?
Anyhow, we went back out and found a few more items. They said the place I'm on now was a huge farm many many years ago, and I can certainly believe it.
Coolest thing, that plow point. It was over a foot down and under a root. (It's all old hardwoods these days.) They must've broke the bolt and lost it and it kept gittn turned deeper and deeper in the soil. I have nary a clue as to it's age but judgin by the writin, I would say early 1900's or before. There's a name or somethin at the bottom that I just caint make out yet..but it looks to be HC then an A and a few more..one looks lke a P.
