My son found this spur. Any ideas on type and why it may have been flattened out. I don’t think a tractor did this A6B52AE4-BCEE-4E0B-9BC7-2D2E67555B64.jpegC158DA7D-68C0-4F8C-8413-D5321D7B258A.jpeg

Probably flattened out of boredom, very neat find!
 

You mean cavalry? :laughing7:
 

Looks like a spur to me ~ Nice find!
 

All civil war era Spurs were cast flat then finished flat and then bent/curved/fitted to the boot. It’s possible that this one was cast locally and left unfinished. Does it have finishing marks on the inside?
 

GREAT FIND !!!
