1.Use splitter to find buried object--not saw;
2.Don't hang old horseshoes on branch of tree;
3.Don't use this old shoe again.

Artifact from by-gone days---

1. I had NO idea that horseshoe was in there, so
it was purely by chance that I cut where I
did. Can you imagine what that would have done
to a saw? (I use a buzz-saw)

2. I use the wood for heat.

The source of wood was from an old farmstead,
which today is the edge of a city and is being
totally changed into housing/streets/etc.
 
I have done exactly that. A large maple that was along our old driveway, where our old house and barns were, had a horseshoe in a limb that I recall when I was a kid was well embedded, you could see it but it was recessed all the way in. Fast forward to 2009, that tree had died, I remembered that limb when cutting it up, avoided it with the chainsaw. I am not sure if I recall that I knew it was in one particular piece of firewood, but one afternoon, I put a dense, crotch like piece in the stove, it burned a good 8 hours, there was a huge draft horse kind of shoe, glowing, I took some photos, somewhere in this pc now, now hangs near the stove. That limb grew quite a bit, you would have no way of knowing that shoe was in there. Big shoe, with the rear lugs, had to be for some sort of draft horse.

mm,..learnt sumtin new,..never knew Amish buggies had horseshoes on the wheels :shock:
 
I have a willow with a piece of 3/4 rigid conduit inside the tree. Someday somebody with a chain saw is going to be mad at me. All pieces of little yellow nylon rope are growing out of the bark.
 
I probably would have been saying alright what idiot put the horseshoe in the fire ,I don't think I would have figured that one out.
