Help dating an old horseshoe

[AZGOLDMAN]

Hello. My son found an old horseshoe buried in the ground on our property. It looks really old, but I don't have expertise in this area. It was in North Texas. About 25 miles South of the Red River.

It is really difficult to date a horseshoe, but yours has hand cut fullers and has obviously been in the ground for quite a while.

Mr. AZGOLDMAN, I have heard of dating an old battleaxe but I don't know about dating an old horseshoe

Just horsing around.....Joe McDonough

I'm no expert either, but yours resembles a mule shoe, which are a different shape from the standard horseshoes of old...Cheers, Sub
