It Was and Then It Wasn?t

[Florida Finder]

I got out to my favorite fort site this afternoon. I know what your thinking. Imagine that. LOL!! Right away I thought I pulled out another military button. I make way my way back to my truck to wipe it off and then I realize it?s a Hundley?s overalls button. That was a little bit of a letdown. I do love the military buttons for sure. So I headed back the spot and instantly found a portion of a dragoon scale. I have found several there over the years and most are broken. The next hole was a 69 caliber musket ball. The next hole was the iron item that could be a tent peg. Although I?m not sure what it is. The last item I dug was also iron and I?ve included 2 photos. It may be some kind of horse tack. If you have any ideas of it?s nature please comment. Thanks for looking.

That's still a very decorative overall button find FF.
Congrats on recovering the portion of a dragoon scale too.

Iron item looks like it was attached to wood. Perhaps a wagon part?
