I had a similar sized maple tree that I wanted to have cut down and milled for woodworking projects. I couldn't find a tree company or sawmill that would touch it because of a couple of old spikes sticking out of it. One guy used a metal detector and couldn't detect any other embedded bits of metal, but still wouldn't touch it. They are deathly afraid of personal and machinery injuries from blades hitting foreign objects. I ended up cutting it down myself and milled a few slabs out of the trunk with the chainsaw, but most of it ended up as fire wood. I note some iron sticking out of yours?
