ANOTHER HUNT. THE OLD COLONIAL RIVER ROAD. HANOVER, VA

[OUTCOME1]

NEED HELP IDENTIFYING SOME OF THESE ITEMS. OBVIOUSLY ONE IS HORSE SHOE AND COULD BE FROM JEB STUARTS CALVARY WHEN HE RODE AROUND THE WHOLE UNION ARMY CIRCLING AROUND RICHMOND. THIS WAS THE OUTER MOST LINE AFTER THE BATTLE OF HAWS SHOP...INSTEAD OF TURNING AROUND THEY MOVED RIGHT THROUGH AFTER A FEW SKIRMISHES....

THE EAGLE CUFF BUTTON I CAN IDENTIFY......THE OTHER 2 ITEMS

Doesn't the "horse shoe" look a little strange? I always thought the same thing until I found one and this is what I was told. it is a mule shoe.

Looks like you are on a great place.

Yes sir mule shoe.

 

[OUTCOME1]

is that better than a horse shoe? how old would you think it is?

 

[bravowhiskey]

As old as the rest of the stuff. It sure could be part of Jebs' supply train. They had to carry their supplies on something. Since they are harder to find, in my book it is better. WTG.

I'm reading about Haw's shop right now. A book called "Not War, But Murder". It's about Cold harbor, where I was raised and did my first relic hunting.

Nice stuff Outcome. I found a very similar shoe last week. Looks like a great area to hunt you have there.
