What is it?

Hi I just started with metal detecting and this is one of my first find, from the similar photos it is an very old horse shoe, but can someone confirm and how old can it be. Should keep searching in that area. Thanks

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - I moved ya from TODAY'S FINDS! over to WHAT IS IT? for more exposure.

It reminds me of a 'Farley Shoe Plate' or hospital plate fabricated by farriers -- though I've never seen one with a center punch hole.

Agree on farrier plate. Good find, early 20th century probably

Could it be an early fishing weight?
