Story69 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi - This was found today on a ranch - 6 ft underground - while excavating a space for a small lake. It was found by my sons' step-father so I don't have a lot of detail. Anybody have an educated opinion? Central Texas. Just south of Lampasas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed. Go right to the source and ask the horse He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course.
