I've never seen such round horseshoe like that. Weird looking. Congrats on the finds.
Went out today too, partner...whew!.. the heat was horrible with absolutely no breeze..and the ground is hard as concrete. Hope you didn't find the rest of "Whiskers"!...Ddf

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.
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
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.
Congratulations on your hunt.
My hunt got cut short due to a 3 hour rainfall.

Thanks for sharing!
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)...
