Finds in Chromo Colorado at homesteaders site

[Craig Montgomery]

I went treasure hunting at an old homesteaders site in Chromo Colorado. Need help identifying what these items are (pics 1901, 1903 and 1904).

Additional finds were beer bottle, pink glass, arrow heads, horseshoe, mower cycle blades, silver platted spoon.

They look like horse/saddle attachment points.

See this is your first post C. M. welcome from Western Slope Colorado I agree with RTR horse bridle or saddle buckles.

Welcome to the site! Old Colorado homesites are the best, looks like good place for more, good luck if you go back!

See any horse bones where you found those ?

Only 1 is horse related. The oval is a light weight rolled construction sash buckle. the other is either an overall buckle or a pants strap buckle.

yes, found one horse shoe, posted new pics.

Hey there, your image 1870 I think are teeth to a sickle bar mower. What they would use to cut for hay.

Think top right matches your first item

I like the Schoenhofen bottle, that brewery was closed down in 1924 because of Prohibition. Personally I think any embossed pre prohibition beer bottles are cool, but you have to wonder how it got all the way to Colorado
