I can't put a date on it but it look's like an early "hat pin",the thing with the hole's is a "toe plate".Any CW action around there?Nice find's

Your round object is a bridal rosette from the Spanish American war era. You will note that they have the great seal on them and that came in around the turn of the century. Nice find for your collection.

Nice work, guys! However, I believe that the "Great Seal" variety of U.S. cavalry bridle rosette dates just a bit later, i.e., early 1900's. Compare it to this one from World War I:

Wow thanks guys for all the info. I found these find at the family farm my third great grandfather built the house my dad know lives in. He was born in 1848. so these find have got to be somewhere during that time period I would think. There was no civil war action here in Wilson County where I live. Although they traveled through here alot.

I found a site selling one of the rosette's and they also give it the date of about 1900. Cool. Can anyone tell me about the Toe plate when did they manufacture them? Did they only make them for military use during the civil war? I found another tiny piece of one in my backyard.
