✅ SOLVED Another day at the early 1800s site. Need some help with identification.

[Recoveredmol]

Another day at the early 1800s site.

Going to need some help on some of these.

The hoe was a neat find. It was about 12 inches deep under a medium sized rock.

The large button is super cool. Hopefully someone can help with identification. I'll try to clean it when I get home.

And any help with identification on the other two items would be great.

Thanks.

The button is a tombac button.

The iron piece is part of a horse bridle.

Thanks to all that have helped.

The T shaped object is part of a horse headstall. The bit (that goes in the mouth) was attached to the large round end and leather straps went to the other two.

Really cool. Hope I can find the other one.

I thought it was part of a spur. I like your solution better.👍🏼

When posting in "What Is It?", please give members the information they need to help identify your find:

1. Post MULTIPLE sharp closeup photos of both the front and the back and sides.
2. State the actual size of the item. Also, if possible, put something with it in the photo for scale: a common U.S. coin, a ruler, etc.
3. If there are any inscriptions which cannot be easily read in the photos, type them in full in your post.
4. If there are maker's marks, numbers, symbols, or other marks on the back which are not easily seen in the photo, post a close-up or a drawing of them.
5. Indicate the composition of the item. For example: "thin brass, filled with lead on the back."
6. Knowing where you found the item or how you got it can also be helpful in identifying the find.

• Once your item has been identified, don't forget to mark it "Solved."

• Finally, if someone identifies your item or provides other helpful information, take time to post your appreciation.
