Pilgrim's Walking Staff

[Anniesantiago]

Does anyone know what metal they put on the BOTTOM of those pilgrim walking sticks you buy along the Camino?

Does anyone have a good photo they could share? I'm trying to explain it to a friend, but can't find a photo.

Thanks!

A friend who made a walking stick for me used a carbide tip. Don't know if that helps.

Sheet metal (tin) from the hardware store. The staves are pretty basic.

Do any of these match your stick?

The steel tipped ferrule is the standard but you may have seen the Alpine spike.

My walking staff [a staff, not a stick] had the type of rubber stopper that you see on the bottom of a medical crutch. Made it very quiet. No annoying clicking!
