Need ID help !

I found these items yesterday, never seen a full horse shoe before, or if this is one or not. It sure look like one, any help would be great. Plus this axe too, how old are they, and what kind of axe is it. Thank you! deanv63!

Don't know how old the horse shoe is, but it is a corrective shoe used when the horse needs heel support.
I think it is called a bar shoe.

Creskol, Exactamondo on it being a corrective shoe! Nice finds, Breezie

The hatchet looks just like one that I have dug. I believe it's a carpenters hatchet. One end for cutting and one end for hammering and you could use the v-shaped notch for pulling nails. Mine was found on a site that dates from early to mid 1800's. Nice find.

VERY OLD!! I have a closed shoe I found last week early 1700s The axe head is of the same period if not earlier. REALLY NICE FINDS!!!!!!! Keep digging that gravy. good luck and keep digging KRAZYHORSES

Yea,I wouldnt give either one that early of a date.There is nearly no way to date a horse shoe,heck they are still using the same methods today they did back then(although pre form blank shoes are the norm)they still use the same corrective shoe when you have a steed with a split hoof.
