Can someone help me understand this potential finding and what it implies?

Me too. I just went and counted them. I have 21 hammers. Some are for carpentry, some for metal working. All work great on thumbs.

And big old short Roman crucifixion nails ??

  Just my own nails. It was when I was building the forms for the raised perimeter foundation, and was using a 2 pound  hammer to drive the 16d nails, as I was getting impatient with the progress, using the 16 oz framing hammer. If you've ever hit your thumb with a 2 pound steel hammer, you know what I mean. My eldest son (age 5-ish) was playing in the yard when I hit my thumb. He turned and asked, "Daddy, why are you saying those words?". I was busy putting smudges in the air in my vicinity, so I didn't answer immediately. Sad part is, I had to keep working with that throbbing thumb. Fuck, that hurt. In those days I was programming in electromagnetic code. My speed was greatly reduced at the space bar...
