Anyone know how to tell the age of a horseshoe?

If it is bright and shiney nice square edges it is new. Nice square edges but dull and signs of rust it is unused probably newish. If they are on a horse ask the horses age. The shoe is probably newer than the horse. If it is really beatup and rusted through left in the dirt and considered worthless probably my age. 62 years.
 
I found some real old beauties last year. I'll have to assemble them and post some pictures. Lots of Ox shoes also. Atleast thats what I think they are? Those must be ancient as I found them by old cellar holes. One horseshoe in particular I found on an old tote road probably 2 miles back on a mountain looks to be real old. Instead of the normal U shape it is connected across the top of the U and is D shaped. Real cool. Never seen one like it before anywhere.
 
Thanks I would appreciate that. It would be fun too know how old they are. I found one near a 1880's home site and was just curious to see if there was any changes over the years.
