John845, looks like you are becoming "one" with your shiny new Vaquero...I never tire of seeing those beautiful, green Indians, and I spotted a Colonial pull tab with the silverware! As for why your Indians are in rough shape..hmmm, I don't really know, i guess if I was in the ground for a century or so, I'd be a little toasty too! I took a close look at your buckle and was reminded why I love that old stuff, the ornate designs along with the fact that it was made well enough to survive a hundred years plus, of New York's weather. Great post, greater finds, thx for sharing, Ddf.
