Scancarelli gives some publicity to the Army Museum every year. Seems repetitive but I’m willing to give him some slack. It’s good to remember the sacrifices made.
Having traced my genealogy back a number of centuries, along with having actually handled some of the same legal documents of my ancestors from the 18th century in Richmond, VA, some historical items can be most interesting. This was in 1956 when such records and documents were readily accessable to the public. Not too sure about today, however. Yes, history can be very exciting if we let it be.
As for the horse shoe, I’m sure there are some metallugy tests that can help determine it’s possible authenticity.

Doesn’t look very rusty for 235 years old.
My folks have one from the grandparents’ farm, maybe a few decades or a century old - it’s just rust held together by rust.

Lead on, Jim, you’re doing just fine.

“just an old rusty piece of metal”?
Slim’s pretty flip for a guy living in a community where nonagenarians qualify as ‘middle-aged’…
