Can someone "shed" some light on this find...
Hello all,
I have been trying to work on our property, cutting brush, trimming trees, etc... Yesterday, I ran out of gas and decided to go for a walk and see what I could see. As I topped the ridge, I saw an antler laying there... cool, my first shed. As I walked towards it, I noticed the other side laying about 5' away. Really cool. I went home and looked at some deer camera pictures and actually found this old boy at my feeder in December.
Now move ahead to tonight. I have been trying to find something decent at this old 2-story log cabin for a year now. The original roof was nailed on with small square nails and the ground is littered with them. You cannot swing anywhere without finding old rusty steel nails. I decided to move out far enough to not deal with the nails and was suprised to start finding some interesting targets. This place was used during the Civil War. I found a button and my nephew found a bullet. I think I may have found something else, but I can't figure it out. It is flat, about the size of a nickel, very heavy and it looks like there was an indent in the middle of one side. I don't have a clue. I'd hate to destroy something trying to figure out what it is, so I'm hoping someone with a little knowledge of lead items could help me.
Also, were bridle pieces made of copper and can anyone identify this band. It says MO US APPR... Again, I have no clue. I looked on the web, but no dice.
Thanks in advance for the help.
