Garden border?
I know nothing about them but first check to see if they're collectable.

I also don't know your skills or where you'd like to put them but here are some ideas:

If they can still be driven into wood and have a lip at the end.. you could drive into a post or tree and use them as a hangar for wind chimes, windsock, hummingbird feeder etc. or steps up to a tree house?
