Hey guys,
So the other night I was thinking bout a post from a while back about what you've pulled up while tilling.. and it got me thinking.. Well, today, I hung another horseshoe on the shop wall (I'm pretty sure this was #8)
For those that don't know, my job is manure injection (simply put anyhow).. Our injection toolbar is based on a DMI subsoiler that has been modified..
Seems like once every few weeks or so, I find a horseshoe "stuck" on one of my shanks.. One field I was in a couple weeks back I found 2 "hitching a ride" in one day.
I keep telling myself when I toss the crap out of my truck I need to post a picture of the "treasures".. In the last year or so, I have pulled up a plow jointer, a manure spreader slat, a few horseshoes, 25' log chain (which looked to be a pretty fresh loss.. hardly even rusty), what looks to be a drawbar from a Farmall tractor, several "flat" chains, copper wire, chunks of foundation.. Oh, and LOTS of rocks.
Just wondered if anyone else finds horse shoes very often? I always find it cool when one latches on, as the shanks are 30" apart, and ya got to hit the shoe just right for it to latch on, as opposed to some of the larger stuff I've caught.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
