Let me try to post this again...

I am updating this! Evidently I didn't have the link correct on the first pic.
Went back tonight where I found the IHP this morning. I think I have the coins picked over so I dug some iffy signals. The large button I find interesting. It is big and the back of it makes me wonder if it is something other than a button. Bottle says 3ss on it and has measurement marks on the side (i.d.?) The item with the slots on it? The buckle is in great shape and has a pat. date of Jan. 12, 1904. I think I am done with this site until some needed rains soak in.

Dang, that's a button. What does the front look like?

It looks to me like a bridle rosette.

Yes, I absolutely agree.

Thanks for the I.D. on the bridle rosette, you are exactly right and I found a similar one on ebay with a different letter and they say these date in the 1800's...

Nice bottle. I wondered what happened to the first pic. It took me some getting used to.
