Uniform Item

[GeorgeinSC]

Today I went back to a park where I dug $9.75 in clad and some Lincolns earlier this month . I had not covered much of the park last trip. Still a lot of the park has not been covered after two trips. I have to park outside the park and walk in as they only open the gates when someone has a ball game or practice (Soccer or Football) scheduled. Had the park to myself today.

Today I dug an even $10.00 in clad and 25-30 lincolns. Also dug up the pictured Military Uniform Item. It measures 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter. I have not been able to get the encrustation of the back to be able to see how it was attached.

This OLD man is a little tired this evening.

Keep it up old man! I'm interested to find out just what that thing is.

The US piece, being that large, may be from US military horse harness..........HH

It seems that I have seen one like this some time in the past but my memory may be faulty. So far I have not been able to locate any information online about the piece.

That is a Bridle Rosette Army. Jesse.

Jesse you are the second person to identify that item. It very well could be a U S Calvary Bridle Rosette. It is the correct size and shape. It was found at a city park that was established in 1990 on the site of a former Southern Plantation. Thanks for the information .
