First outing for the year

[Eu_citzen]

HUGE horseshoe.


Oldest coin: (2 Öre, 1863)



And the most interesting find; an old cup or something similar. All mashed up.
Possibly old.

Nice finds. Cup/lid seem very decorative, might be a "plate" for a horse since you got a shoe.....Interesting.

That's a biggun alright. I'd like to see that crushed object again after you get it cleaned up. Congrats!

Thanks guys! I'm waiting with the clean up of the cup until the archaeologists had a chance to look at it. I had to report it.

Don't think it's a plate for a horse, but rather a drinking cup or something similar. It's very nice decorated.
The mashed up thing under the horseshoe is also a cup, but I think more modern.


Either way, it's cool. And unexpected. The place belonged to a Swedish officer until the early 1900's.
Back then it was a huge farm!

Nice hunt, I would have been curious to see the horse who had this shoe.

Bill, that makes two of us. Must've been a really huge workhorse. Someone suggested a shire horse. We may never know.
