Horse shoe?!

[JustKeepDigging]

Found this here on Jupiter beach a few weeks back. Is there a possibility this could be from a Spanish ship? I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t last that long in the water, but I’m hopeful [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

It looks awfully small. Perhaps a burro? Great find! Congrats!

Thats a horseshoe, probably from a pony or something. It looks pretty old by the looks of it. Id say 1800s, possibly early 1900s, for sure.

So probably not from a ship, correct?
