Please help me prove my boyfriend wrong!

[mmoore4813]

Does anyone think this may be something or according to my boyfriend "It's just a piece of junk, you're crazy"! I found it near Aiken, SC sticking out the side of a creek bed. It's about 7 inches long, made out of iron. One side of it looks like it has a pattern of some kind on it, and the other side looks something like a hoof maybe? Could it be a piece of a statue? Maybe my imagination is running away from me and my boyfriend's right. I don't know, any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated!

If I found that thing, I wouldn't think twice before it would go into the trash. Hopefully you can get some sort of joy out of it.

It's always good to have an imagination.
It looks like it was broke off of something.
Try cleaning it up with a vinegar soak or electrolysis.
You may be able to get a better ID.

Moving forward, please listen to your boyfriend. From what I can tell he has a good grasp on this situation.

There are only two views so it is hard, but at first glance I thought maybe a mule shoe that was badly degraded, not all there?

I think your boyfriend is right, sorry.

frankly i dont understand why you're asking for help ? yep it looks like a piece of junk iron. all that matters is "you like it" do you sleep with it under your pillow at night ?

 

[nomad 11]

no! no! no! now that i look at the picture again it looks like a petrified deer foot. thats a once in a lifetime find. clean it up paint it. and sleep with it under your pillow at night.

Not sure what it is but Welcome to TNet!

Wow !! you all are mean ... What does it matter she found it and maybe someone can eventually tell her what it is.. Maybe its valuable maybe not, but she found it and its of value to her ...

Do you have a local relic club to take it to and ask someone of knowledge?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Is it metal?

 

[mojjax]

maybe it was a cuckoo clock weight ?

It's probably off a farm plow or some other farm equipment but try cleaning it a little better and re posting you never know.

 

[Gold Maven]

take a hammer to it, that looks like rust.....maybe it will fall off.

Let me break this down; He's your boyfriend so he's automatically wrong. You can hold it in your hand, so it's definitely something. Most would call it junk, but just to avoid being wrong, call it a man made iron deposit.
