I gridded off a section of a site I've hunted several times previously that had some Civil War soldiers stationed at it. I've pulled many .58's from there, but this week got the horseshoe (which may not be Civil War related at all), and also got my very first button. The picture shows the from the ground appearance and it's not cleaned up.
Can anyone help with identification and info on my button? I can provide cleaned up pictures if necessary.
Also found several whatzits that may or may not be from that time. If anyone has ideas on them, please let me know.
Horseshoe, two bullets (one shot, one strangely curved), button, two whatzits.
Button up close before cleaning. Button measures exactly 7/8".
Whatzit #1- Some type of latch? Round piece at left looks as if it would drop in like a hinge assembly. Right side is some sort of latching piece?
Whatzit #2- Straight bar for something, but small piece at cutout in middle appears to be copper, as it's green tarnished. Has hole in far right side.
