Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, forged, wrought iron, fair size, tongue horseshoe (1700-1815). This horseshoe has a 'U' or tunnel-like shape, inner edge plan with a relatively wide frog and heels wide apart - usually used on riding horses. There were at least three nail holes in each branch, one slightly wider than the other and probable fullering which could indicate a later date. There are two rounded heels but no calkins present. The horseshoe is complete but rusty with breaking down surface corrosion. This horseshoe is likely to date to 1700-1815. 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 119.62mm long, 129.48mm wide, 15.43mm thick and weighs 392g.
