Hobnails in glaciers
#1
Scroll down in this BBC article to a surprising paragraph and photo of Roman army hobnails

Hundreds of Roman shoe nails have emerged from the ice too.
"That is really interesting," says Grosjean. "Each shoe nail has a kind of a bar code, showing the year it was made, where it was made, and whether these shoes were used for military troops for the Roman army, or for civilian shoes."
