Thanks, Jim. I'm never shy to guess & more shocked when I guess right

Thanks guys.

That is what I was guessing. Found under the gravel pavement of a home circa 1910. Was not sure if I wanted to dig the signal as the gravel pavement was pretty hard to get through, but the signal was one of those that I just did not want to pass up. It was one of those studder signals that you get sometimes with anMXT. That usually means something is there better that a screwcap or a pull top.

Thanks

Do the crossed sabres indicate a cavalry officer?

It is my understanding that "early on" they indicated cavalry, dragoons, and mounted riflemen... later the crossed sabers were just basically "cavalry".

Crossed Sabers = Cavalry
Crossed Cannons = Artillery
Bugle = Infantry - (Later) Crossed Muskets/Rifles = Infantry
