found these in a neighborhood where a few skirmishes broke out.
not sure if most of this is even civil war relics but maybe some of you can tell me.
kinda new at this so i hope the pics turn out ok-lol!

that buckle seemed a little suspicious to me-reason being it has a picture of a horse head on it. you can somewhat make it out in the pic. a big thanks for your help ivan
 
Looks like you are in HOT spot, those are some great finds for a skirmish, DIG...DIG...DIG
 
cavalry forces used pistols and sabers (swords) a lot --so why not have a horses head on a calvary mans sword belt?--*(especailly confederate forces were the dress code was not as "uniform" )--- they did love their horses after all being calvary men.

well cant find any print on the small buckle but the big buckle in the same pic has the words solid brass engraved on it.
 
nice haul on the cool relics!!!!!!!!! MR TUFF
 
Civil War bullet style for sure. I'd keep working that spot. It looks like a good site. Nice Finds! I think the "arrow" shaped item might be the top off of an old iron fence. Can't tell much by viewing the buckle. Maybe a better picture would help.
