So Peps would just assume that a horse shoe was the first example.
Right-back to the curved piece, piece of plow blade or a cast pot?
Dang I was sitting on pins and needles when I read about getting caught digging the pull tab......
Kind of like the deer in the headlights-Ya the Murphy's Law-dig one target and getting caught.
