Hey guys it could be nothing but my curiosity is getting the best of me so hopefully somebody will know what it is I appreciate you looking image-2020-12-30-08:49:15-664.webp
 

I saw that in your other posting on the clay marble and button. Thought, "hmmm, guess truth didn't think much of the rivet because he didn't mention it."

Seeing as how that Fort has such long and varied history and even as an amusement park it could have come from any number of sources, jeans if not too deep, horse tack if fairly deep or any type of material equipment. Maybe even a sheet metal rivet from rides in the amusement park. Hard to say without analyzing. Cool

It doesn't look like anything of value, alas. Most likely a rivet from someone's clothes!

It looks like something that was once attached to a Badge, Button, Medallion or something similar. It kind of looks like the "#1". 1st division or something along those lines......

Hey ecmo
I just got a new phone and I was just learning how to upload photographs so I was just keeping it simple and just concentrated on the clay marble. But of course a friend of TNet inform me what it was and that’s a Vintage collar holder from way back when so I’m so happy I was intrigued enough not to put it in my trash sac. Now I love it lol Man you got to love
this hobby. It reminds me of a time that I was hauling alongside one of our many rivers at a little park experimenting with the 15 inch coil just got. Our rivers are nothing but sand and every time it floods the whole park gets sanded out so basically there’s an inch of grass and sand below it. So that day I got a liberty dime and a brass tuba. Now the reason I assumed it was a tuba is because around the corner is a school from 1901 not to mention since I was still learning that 800 I was hitting beer cans at a foot down so I’ve already had like 12 beer cans In my sack and that’s how I got the tuba I thought it was just another can. Meanwhile I’m bragging about the silver dime and somebody made a comment and said that is not a tuba that’s a French horn that they wore on the hat blew my mind lol and another way to look at it is if I was doing it now there’s no way I would go that deep because I know it’s a beer can and they both had the same VDI.

It's a bugle. Just an expanding, circular tube. Used by military buglers, like the one in the picture. French horn has keys, more tubes and is used in orchestras.

That bugle is an infantry emblem from the Civil War. Sometime after the Civil War it switched to two rifles crossed for infantry. Gary
