Old horseshoe find

[poolecw]

I found this while metal detecting this weekend. It appears to be a part of a horseshoe. It was highly corroded before cleaning it up.

I'm no expert so I don't know its age. I found it a few miles from the Chickamauga battlefield but unsure if it goes back to the war

Upon further investigation, this appears to be an old mule shoe not a horseshoe.

That's cool.

Plenty of mules saw Civil War service or it could be a farm find.

I found whole one awhile back, I’ll try to remember to get a pic and post here. That’s a good find.

Here it is. Not sure how old but found around an old rock pile that used to be a chimney.

Very nice.

I found a good one in Athens after tilling a field last year.

Would love to start detecting.
