I was just getting ready to make the same comment. Very peculiar and way cool example of an iron horse shoe. I dug several but not one as rounded as that one. Hmmm?

I have been contemplating whether to go out with my AT Pro and get into a local stream. The humidity today here is dreadful. Sucking on cold sun tea viewing other folks finds might be my best option.8-)

Kurios...get that ATPro and hit that stream! Be a perfect day for it if it's as hot there as it is here. If you've never dunked that unit, no fear, just make sure your connections are tight. I've never completely submerged mine, coil only but worked flawlessly. Happy fishin! Ddf

LOL ! I got as far as walking down the sidewalk to my tiny stream and finding a few pieces of iron and a melted blob of aluminum. Headed right back into the AC after about twenty minutes tops. I have dunked my AT Pro. I do make certain all my sealed connections are tight as heck. The creek I want to hunt is still a bit high and "muddy". Since I hunt solo I prefer the water to be "clear" so I can actually go under and visibly recover my targets in the deeper water. Not to mention if I drown the local authorities will better be able to recover my corpse.:laughing7: Heck, I might go out yet tonight if I get feeling closed in. Adios amigo.

I pulled this from another TN thread - your shoe kind of looks like "number 5" (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.

I always consider finding a horseshoe good luck for some reason. Ox shoes on the other hand...not so much!
