" Updated" Found rare 1st Dragoons bit boss!!!!

I braved the heat yesterday and found this along with some camp lead and a dropped round ball in a Confederate camp. I thought bridle rosette when I first saw it. It was down about 6 inches on a hillside. According to postings on the what is it is a 1st Dragoons bit boss. A once in a life time find!!!
Thanks for lookin, peanut

Nice Bit Boss! That looks like it predates the war probably by a few years as "Dragoons" was a designation used alot before, through the Mexican War, and into the 1850s. Sweet digs

Actually, there were 5 row boats rowed across the Long Island Sound, from Conn. to L.I., filled with Patriots that went by the name of Dragoons and led by Col. Talmadge during the Rev. War. They marched across L.I. and REtook the St. Georges Manor BACK from the British without having to fire a shot! Then hiked BACK across the island and Rowed back to Conn.!!! I can't cut my LAWN w/out getting tired!
