Gettysburg hunt

[gforce1972]

So hit a site in Gettysburg Saturday and Tuesday. Didn't find much. Any thoughts on the oval tag?

It looks like a part to the McClellan saddle. I dug one earlier this year and that was what mine was. Is it brass? Were you on private property? How did you find them? The bottles look very clean.

 

[gforce1972]

Yes. Private property. The two coke bottles were together on top of a rock formation. The pony on another. The smaller bottle I found on the ground. The two tags were found about 4 inches down a good 1/4 mile apart. I don't think it is brass.

By the size, it could be another dog tag....jmho..................HH

[gforce1972]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is from a saddle.

The bottles aren't worth much.. there from the late 60's - 70's.. Nice finds though.
