nails

Martin has been on pulling up flooring from the barn. The person(s) who built it used  exceptionally long nails, which have rusted and become difficult to pull out.
These nails are similar in style to the nails used to fasten the shingles to the house, except they are a bit longer (and they aren't the longest nails used in the barn).
From what little research (see link below) that I have done, I am assuming that these are original nails used when the house and barn were built in the early 1920s.
