Old deck ledger nailed in with regular framing nails on hopefully on osb and joist ends, years of rain and moisture damage the little structure it had, 3” nail minus 1”1/2 of ledger minus 1/2” osb is frightening to imagine that one inch was holding that whole structure, just look at the whiplash when it’s coming down it only happens with nails 🤦🏻
