Obviously an awl as we know them are pointed (many of these do have one pointed and one flat end) their exact use isn't known but are thought to be woodworking tools though the amount that are found it makes me wonder if they had a more everyday use Huh
The treasure act states that an assemblage of two or more prehistoric metal items constitute as treasure Wink

I wonder if these might not be awls but copper nails from a boat or ship?

Well it's a good suggestion Doc but I feel that flattening the end into a blade is inviting the wood the split along the grain Undecided

Thanks all for your replies. I thought they where Bronze Age chisels so a few weeks back, I emailed the same photo to FLO. He seemed to think they where mid 20th century soldering irons, but I think he is getting mixed up with somebody elses finds because he said that he checked the metallorgical content of the items which showed that they where composed of modern alloys. How can he do this from a photo?
So I still think they could be Bronze Age.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy FLO's can be good but they're not that good Grin It's entirely up to you but if you want to send me a copy of the email (chefphones@live.co.uk) I can get them rechecked with another FLO and if necessary recorded centrally via the British Museum so your FLO is none the wiser Wink
