Assortment of nails?

Sort of. These are all from known or probable shipwrecks on the Delmarva Peninsula. The two on the upper left are from a known wreck, which I cannot name, located somewhere in Maryland. The big treenail (pronounced "trun-el") on the bottom is from an old wooden coal barge on the beach south of Woodland Beach, Delaware. The other three are from wrecks or probable sections of wrecks in and around Lewes, Delaware. The one on the far right is a "cut nail". You are not likely to find these in your local hardware conglomerate...it came from the same location as this and this.
