The link worked fine.
Are you sure that curved end isn't broken off? It isn't as oxidized as
the other parts...??
I have no clue what it might be. Sorry.

Subject: unidentified iron bar
I am looking for help in identifying an iron bar artifact from a late
19th century village & foundry & mill site in Pennsylvania. Multiple
examples of the same iron bar with a curved end have been found by the
folks doing basic brush removal and clearing at the site.
The photos are not great, since they were jsut taken in the field with
car keys for scale. But I have posted two views of the iron bar (top and
side) on Archaeoseek at
http://archaeoseek.ning.com/xn/detail/578807:Photo:27542
I hope I did this link correctly. If not, just check the new photos
for two labeled iron bar.
If you are not a member of Archaeoseek and do not wish to subscribe to
this free service, I can also send them directly to anyone interested in
helping me out. Thanks,
