Sorry, that's not an ox shoe, it's a broken horseshoe.

At least that's what I was told by property owner. Very worn been in the ground for at least 200 years. Larger on top and hand forged

 

[Dutchman266]

Sorry I think you're right. Looked it up. My apologies.

I've never seen a bone button, is that 1700s?

 

[Dutchman266]

Yes. Mid 1700. You can tell it's hand made. Grain runs in 1 Direction. Carving is uneven. The house on the property was occupied by the land owner until the floor collapsed. Now they live in a modular home next to the house. He's a farmer and has plowed up artifacts. I feel very greatfull that he lets me detect.
