The bone looks like the scale ( handle ) for a fixed blade knife. Hard to say with no way to judge size. Some of the gurus can tell ya about the bullet but will probably have to measure it if possible and weigh it to get an accurate ID. Nice finds.:icon_thumleft:

Thanks TNGUNS. The bone is about 1 1/4 inches wide if that helps. I think you may be right about it being a knife handle. I think I've nailed the bullet to the late 1800s. (Post Civil War). Also here's a little better pic of the Indian. Gonna soak it in olive oil a while. HH

That's a killer site you've got there. I can't wait to see what else is there.
