    Wagon Step ?????

    This piece was dug out of the river bank in GA. My first thought was a wagon step but can't find any like it. Appears to be hand forged, 22" across. Both ends are turned up like they braced against something.

    Re: Wagon Step ?????

    Just saw this, but, I'm thinking that it is too light to be a wagon step. Can't really tell from the picture how heavy it is, but wagon steps were
    usually pretty sturdy.

    What river ? , Depending on what river, It is possible that it came off a river boat.

    Re: Wagon Step ?????

    The wagon step I dug was smaller, with two holes to bracket it to the side of the wagon or buggy...well, I guess technically mine is a "buggy step."

    I don't think that's what you've got.
