Hey everyone this is a cool find I made back in 2006 in San Francisco at a job site I was working on at the time . One of the sub contractors was excavating under the building we were working in . They dug down a good 20 feet or so . As the dirt was being taken out and put off to the side I noticed something in the dirt . As I got to it another worker saw it and was trying to get to it first . I put my hands on it before him and it was mine ! I still didn't know what it was but knew it was very old . The area I was in had been burned to the ground in 1906 due to the big quake ! I was told by someone on the site that back then a iron smith had been there . As it turned out I had got one of only four of these found ! It is a 61 pound chunk of metal with horse shoes all over it ! It had been so hot from the fire of 1906 that they were all fused together ! I have thought about posting it for a long time and today I was looking at it and thought why not today ! A little piece of history that I will give to my Son some day .
