Well I went back to the Cavalry site I've been working with my friend Dustin. Quite a few bullets, mostly Sharps and Hankins, Colt pistol, and Sharps Carbine. I like the melted sharps and the carved bullet. I also found two more pieces of the uniform attachments for a shoulder scale - I found the turnkey in the same area last time we were there.

I'm not sure what the knobby thing is on the top right in the first pic. I'll take better pics of it later and post it in the what-is-it section.

The last pic is all my finds for the 4 times we've been out there.

Hello friends,

Nice finds!
What is it - Buckle?

Thanks everyone! For anybody who might be curious, I was able to ID the brass piece in the upper right as a saddle bag stud from a McClellen saddle. I found a roller buckle in that same area, but didn't actually stay too long there. Perhaps its worth a second look.
