I was able to get out for a couple of hours today before I had to quit, really humid! I found some horse tack( this was a BIG horse)



A bell( no clanger), I seem to find a lot of these



And a CW Artillery button( or as they say" civ in the pock" ) Sorry ,couldn't resist








Happy hunting and stay cool

Someone told me to put aluminum jelly on it to clean it,is that the best way to do that?

Nice finds and a great looking button. There appears to be a fair amount of gilt on there still. That one might clean up really nice with aluminum jelly.

I thought that that was off a sheep,don't the horse bells had a square or rectangular top?

Not sure if you US guys use them on sheep, but here & Spain use them on the heavy horse harness.

Sweet button , I have never found an A, C , or any other letter other than an I "Infantry " of course.
Clean it up some more if you wish , I would leave it as is , until I knew my Cleaning Skills were Dam Good.
It to me Looks Great Now Shank & all.
Horse gear from Civil War areas is Cool as well.
