I found this today on the Hutchinson Trail. ( The nail, not the money). I picked it up about 100’ from the dam at the Caretaker parking lot. Who knows how many times it has been ridden over in the past 3 years.
Not sure if it’s exact age. Google says hand made square nails fell out of favor in the 1880s.
I left it at the visitor center for the park historian to look at. Hopefully he can better identify its vintage. Given the history of the area it might have been mined and forged within the park.
