Did someone post one of these here?

Found this thing (bridle shield rosette) while searching other items. Could have sworn that someone had posted one somewhat like it recently.

One just like it at this site....

We went to a nearby state forest and found an old buried bottle dump. One of the bottles had a date of 1858, but it was broken. There was a lot of cork top bottles and broken pottery, and this was the only good signal that came out of there.

We have looked on the Internet for another one of these, and couldn't find one. But when we went to the B.O.N.E. Show in New Hampshire, we saw two other ones on display by other relic hunters. They told us it was a bridle rosette which clips to a harness on the sides. There are two thick stubs on the back where it attached. It's made of brass or bronze. It appears that the design was handmade with a punch. We were told these were popular in the 1800's. If you know of any other information please e-mail us.
