Or several tent pegs.

I've had an attic sort out, and found a bag full of the things, far more than I need. Contemplating making a pan holder, or stove support, or something, but in the meantime I've just unblocked the bathroom sink with one!

Any other suggestions?

England's most easterly point
I have made a catapult frame with one, then covered it with leather; forged a couple of rings for a leather bag, made a forged belt buckle, and often use short sections to make the riveted pivots on my friction folders!

How about bending it into a shape, adding a handle and making a branding iron for marking your cattle/children/belongings?

some s hooks to hold pots over a fire, hang rucksack to tarp ridge line
cut them up and use them as pins to handle a knife
they would make a good back scratcher
make a mini grill if you can braze/solder them
pot stand
make something decretive out of them like a door sign with someone name on it, you might have to join a couple together
make some d rings for leather work, just joined or brazed/soldered/welded depending on tools
make link and join them together for a cooking pot chain, along with the s hooks above
im sure theres loads of other things to be done with them
