    Civil War era US Cavalry Relic!

    Dug this today near a creek. It was only about three inches down stuck between two roots. I think it is a Civil War era US Cavalry bridle rosette. There was a fort near here, think Custer, Dances with wolves that sort of thing. I have never found anything like this before and figured some of you relic folks might be able to help me out with any additional info. I love finding things like this that are parts of history. Possibly my best MD find so far. hello2 The quarter is just for scale. Thanks in advance for any info on this!

    It kept sounding off like a coin, I'm sure you would have dug it as well. Gotta love the tone ID!

    There is one just like yours pictured at the following URL. Look under May, Civil War, 3rd place.

    Actually called a bit boss....

    there was one on either side of the bridle. You can see the attachment holes top and bottom That looks close to Civil War but lettering style may indicate slightly post CW. Check Google for "bit boss".
