Rusty nail from USA

I have started collecting rusty nails for a project I am doing with the Special Collections at MMU.
In the collection they have a small collection of bent and rusty nails that are archived.
I decided to start my own collection of nails from anyone who would like to donate a rusty nail along with its story.
John M Bennett kindly sent me this one.
"This rusty nail was from my old cold frame, which was blown apart by Hurrican Ike, in September 2008..."
