" Updated" Found rare 1st Dragoons bit boss!!!!

I braved the heat yesterday and found this along with some camp lead and a dropped round ball in a Confederate camp. I thought bridle rosette when I first saw it. It was down about 6 inches on a hillside. According to postings on the what is it is a 1st Dragoons bit boss. A once in a life time find!!! :blob8:

Thanks for lookin, peanut

That is a super find!! Many of the pre war Dragoon units were formed from Southern states, which is why a lot of Dragoon material turns up on Confederate sites.
