Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, forged, wrought iron, medium size tongue horseshoe (1700-1815). This has a 'U' or tunnel - like shape, inner edge plan with relatively wide frog and heels inturned and wide apart - usually used on riding horses. At least three nail holes in each branch and fullering which would indicate a later date. There is one rounded heel and one pointed but no calkins present. The shoe is complete but rusty with breaking down surface corrosion. This horseshoe is likely to date to 1750-1815. Ref. Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1997, page 40-41 and Old Horseshoes, Shire Album 19, Ivan G. Sparkes, Shire Publishing, page 17-21 and inside cover. The horseshoe is 104.1mm long, 122.68mm wide, 12.66mm thick and weighs 256.0g.
