I pulled this from another TN thread - this is just one of the replies in the thread...




The information that was provided was found in the book: Artifacts of Colonial America by Ivor Noel Hume. (Don't shoot the messenger-call the author!) As noted, dating horseshoes is difficult at best. As with any hand-made item, the maker has the liberty to make it as he/she wishes. A current gunmaker could easily produce a flintlock rifle with all the early fixtures, but it obviously would not be old. Same thing with an ancient spear/arrow point. All one can do is go with the professional studies that have been documented and make your best guess.

" That's where the good ones hide, go slow, and listen. You might be digging lots of iron but the rewards are worth while also. Congrats on the permission and the recent finds.
