It does happen. I've really had to work for my few recent finds. Hiking a couple hours or canoeing to sites. In Maine the vegetation is so thick right now that lots of my sites are almost unhuntable. But I'm excited for the fall. Just keep on digging holes my friend and the finds will come....maybe the retirement find :-)

I came home with a half of a horse shoe today for 4 hours. Lots of hiking a few ticks and a million Mosquitos. I've several of these days and it makes it tough but ya just gotta keep at it.

ah, you guys are just trying to make me feel better, I thought everyone found the good stuff every time they went out! LOL maybe if you counted all of the trash as good stuff!

I have been getting skunked out at some of my sites lately also. I will say though I hunted a farm field site 3 or 4 times one spring about 5 years ago. Found some bits of copper and nothing but iron, basically chalked it up that there was nothing good to be found. Then last year I figured what the heck lets give it another try. Found my first capped bust, couple LCs, civil war token and some other goodies. All over a few hunts last fall. Can't really hunt my new old home site because its to over grown with vegetation like Ahab's sites. Farm fields have crops in them can't hunt those. Corn is about tall enough to walk the rows and look for surface finds though.

I find half horseshoes a lot here on this old wagon road by my home. Then someone mentioned maybe they were oxen shoes (makes sense - split hooves). But some of these ARE half horseshoes.
QUESTION: How in the hell does a horse lose a half a horseshoe? And if they don't then where are the other halves. I find a 1/2 and then MD around but the other half is "gone". How can this happen?

I don't have an answer to that. I've found a few and they were definitely horse shoes. Maybe a shoe broke and whoever owned the horse just tried to piece the two together and one side fell off while the other stayed attached.
