Hopefully this link will take you to a 2001 thread where John Hall said early ones were metal.

Dave: Another good test of your mettle.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Brad -- I thought that is what I was doing, testifying!

Dave -- I remember looking for this when this conversation first came up, but I couldn't ever find it! And I must say I'm pretty surprised more people weren't even aware of this. Of course, when I first saw the change (which I'm pretty sure came sometime in '73) I didn't know about horseshoes at all, just that they had changed from metal to plastic.
Peter -- I admire your steely determination to include a pun with every post!

Yeah, I totally believe you and all, I'd just like to see what the metal ones look like. Image

So Pete, why the recent pun-gent remarks? ;-)

Peter's just been listening to heavy mettle lately.
