UNBRIDLED ENTHUSIASM
I really enjoy metal detecting and recently found this item in a wooded area near my home. It is made of brass, and the front shows a sheaf of wheat, a plow, and some other farming implements; the back is filled with lead. During the same hunt, I also dug three Indian Head cents dating from the 1870s and '80s. Any idea what it might be?

Answer 2 It's a mid 19th century bridle rosette, and is sometimes referred to as a "Tennessee state seal" rosette because of the design's similarity. However, the real seal has a cotton plant on the right, and also an early freight boat below; so, it's a possible but wobbly attribution. In the past, I've seen these priced between $50 and $75, and that's still a reasonable, "real world" range, according to rosettes specialist Charles Nash of Stone Mountain Relics.

we need to see the reverse, but I agreed Rosette is most likely
