A tale of two indians.. and an unknown relic???

[Mach1Pilot]

Got out to hunt at two places today...didn't find a lot but both gave up an indian. The first is the 1908... it is in fairly good condition.

The second came out of a pasture, so to even be readable is remarkable....Its an 1864.... the date is clear and strong, the rest of the front is pretty rough so there is no chance to tell if the "L" was there...

Also found at the first site is the shield looking thingy. That site was supposed to be a Whiskey Rebellion campsite with President Washington and the troops... other than tons of iron signals nothing else was found, but I know it has been hit before. The back of the shield is pewter...anyone with an idea?

Thanks for looking.

Whatever it is, it's COOL! Maybe some sort of crazy bridal rosette ?? Nice finds! Jerry

Yes, horse furniture (decor) is my best bet, we have had these posted before & I have found one over here.

Agreed. It is Certainly a leather decoration of some sort, being lead-backed like it is. And Crusader is right, that it is likely horse-related.

I agree with the other about the shield being horse related. On the 64 Indian. On 64 L the bust is pointed and rounded on a plain '64. I hope this helps
