Old Farm House

[Corrupted]

My sister and brother-in law own a house that was built in the late 1800's. This being my first week with my MD and after reading many posts in this forum it became very apparent that hunting this property would be a good idea. I have a feleling that this property will be producing some great finds over the next few months. My sister has given me no limit permission to dig the heck out of her property. My 11 year old niece was stuck to my hip while I was out there and was very interested and excited to see what we would find. I have a feeling she will be my hunting buddy from now on.

I do have a question about the pie shaped piece I found, it looks to be a wedge that at one time had a sharper point, perhaps to split or as a spacer? Also how would I go about finding possible dates on the horse shoes? Final question I have is in regards to cleaning, good idea, bad idea?

Neat finds, not sure what the triangle thing is. As for cleaning, you might try electrolysis. If you type electrolysis in google or even on here you will probably find out how to do it. You might go to cleaning finds on the forum and you will find it there also.

Good Luck, can't wait to see what else you pull out of that old site.

First guess on the small object is that it might have been one of those small wedges used to keep an axe or hammer head tight on a wooden handle
