Note: An used horse shoe and used iron nails from boats are used to appease Sani Deva (Planet Saturn). But this has to be done with caution. In my personal experience they appear to strengthen Sani than just propitiating it. They do give some troubles besides benefits. The horse shoe, iron nails should be used only after doing specific pujas and rituals with a learned Pundit (Vedic priest).
