It was an unusually warm February about 4 years ago. My husband was cutting logs in our woods on our property. I got out the metal detector once again. I had searched the area many times before, and always coming up empty. I got tired of always pulling up barbed wire as my reward! This time I was shocked to retreive a very old work horse shoe. It was unique as it had what looked like ice grips on it. Then I found a second one and a third one! These were all found in a pattern which seemed to indicate a standing horse had lost its shoes! However, shoe #4 has become the lllusive one. I go back to the site often, and have not found #4. That mystery will never be solved.
Maybe you can tell me what/when the shoes were made? Lots of deep corrosion on them. I made a conversation piece by putting the shoes on an old barn board along with hats, sheriffs badges ( which were souvenir purchases), pieces of iron, and some shells.
