rosette

I dug this horse bridle rosette at a site where I've found early 19th C military uniform buttons and musket balls. This one looks to be lead filled. Anyone have info on a possible date for it? Could it have been from a military horse? Thanks

I took my four year old son out to the woods for a couple hours to do some metal detecting. It was quiet at first until If found a 1919 s wheatie in great shape with very little oxidation. A few feet away I found the bridle rosette. Shortly thereafter I found the trade token. I did some...

Hi folks. Hope this note finds you all well. Had time to only do a few hunts over the past few weeks on either side of a well-needed vacation to Kennebunk and Goose Rocks Beach - long time family spot. First hunt was with a buddy of mine in central VT, then another short hunt for about an hour...

WOW, yesterday really had me praying in the dirt, here is what I gave thanks for: a silver washed concentric circle "bullseye"? lead filled ROSETTE, two flat buttons, one with silver color gilt and dimple on front, the other smaller like a cuff or sleave. The best find was a cut copper coin, I...

New to forums, please forgive my azzbackwardness, that's just how I roll. I was on another forum, but can't stand the wait getting approved. Some years ago I found this object in Utah. I'm trying to get opinions on whether it could possibly be Spanish. I think it's a concho or rosette. It...

I recently picked these up from a guy and neither of us knew much about them other than they are from horse bridles from the US Calvary. I was wondering if anyone knows how old these are and if they are rare. The little ones are 1 1/4" in diameter and are crimped to leather and the larger ones...

Hello there all.... I recently picked these up from a guy and neither of us knew much about them other than they are from horse bridles from the US Calvary. I was wondering if anyone knew what the whole set of four would be worth about- The little ones are 1 1/4" in diameter and are crimped...

Moved to a new site for today, 1870's tree farm house. Was pleased to find some period items along with other targets. Forbes Silver plated spoon, 1902 Indian, Several wheats (three 1920's pocket spill), ax head, pocket knife, 1800's Victorian Horse Bridle Rosette (I think there is a picture...

Hi! I got out on Saturday for a day or hunting with one of my very good friends--NJLargeCent. He got permission to the grounds of a log cabin house that dates back to ca 1900--not ancient, but any day with nice weather and good company is a treat. The finds were a bit scarce on this property...

Was expecting to find something CW today and found this instead. I have it posted on "What is it". :skullflag:

This item first struck me as very odd when I dug it as I'm not used to digging anything metal with glass attached to it. I thought it was some sort of fancy plug or stopper and dropped it in my finds pouch. Upon cleaning it up at home, I see that the brass or copper had a nice patina indicating...
