In the past week or so I have dug a ox shoe with nails still intact and in place, and yesterday I found a large horseshoe with nails still intact and in place as well. Both these targets were found in the woods in Maine about 30 feet apart in a place where I believe logging has taken place in the distant past. My question is are horse shoes and ox shoes usually found with nails intact?

Christo, here are some pics of the ox shoe, I will post some of the horseshoe in the morning. It just stuck me as very odd I found two shoes with nails intact very close together from two different types of animals.

I tend to like the relic hunting best as well, although I have not done much the beach hunting is calling my name in Florida!

That's pretty cool! There's gotta be quite a story behind that one.

I have found a lot of horseshoes with nails in them while relic hunting. They are not that uncommon. And I have found a lot of the nails without the horseshoe. lol

It looks like the ox shoes may not have been used. If they were the nails would have been cut off and bent over like they do with horses. Cool find.
