    Ox Shoes for Sale

    I just saw a website selling ox shoes at $12 a pop. They are dug and really ratty. Anyone want to buy some from me?

    that one cache of ox shoes i found would of been worth about a 148 dollars
    if i could only get $12 bucks a pop for each one i have found , i'm pretty sure i could send on of my kids through college

    Digging them here is kind of a thrill, only because they're uncommon in this area. But beyond the kick of digging one myself, heck, I can make a pair with 4" of 1½"x¼" flat stock.

    LOL I've only found one so far myself, if I hunted the farm fields more often I probably would've found more than one by now but the one that I did find is in really good shape!!

    Epi, you want some? I mail you some if you are serious. I have some nice ones that I preserved.

    I was wondering if Longhair could make his own.

    George, can you imagine the postage cost mailing shoes to HMN? A buck wouldn't cut it

    Dan, Merc found 12 in one hole too. Must have sounded like a 57 Chevy
    Giant, does your's have nails still in it?

    What about all those rusty bent square nails we dig??? Maybe we should save those too! I'd be rich if I could get a nickel a piece.
