Cool recoveries???? And what is a J hook used for?

What a nice display of bullets and buttons… is that bottom button cast?… it is in killer condition!!
I’m curious about that J hook too.
Was it used for different purposes?
I think I have heard them referred to as knapsack hooks and also sword hanger hooks.
Looks like you are on a killer site with those finds!!

The J hook was used on the soldier’s knapsacks as some kind of adjuster or clasp…

It was a fort until the indians burnt it down in the late 1870’s

The only reason I asked was I had a friend who hunted a western fort site. He had the most luck where the dump was, down over a hill. Might work out for you!
