Finally finished my display from my premission , I have general service, I,A,D and R. I'm missing C button. 20191228_184259.jpg20191228_191410.jpg20191228_192819.jpg20191228_191631.jpg

What we now call the cavalry is represented in your display case... by the eagle-D (Dragoons) button. The US Cavalry did not come into existence until 1855, and then only two regiments were authorized to be formed, until more were added with the start of war in 1861. So it's not too surprising that nobody wearing eagle-C buttons seems to have gotten to the 1851-62 New Mexico fort you're hunting.
 

Cannonball guy can you tell me what is the cone shape bullet is??
 

Very nice. Congratulations :icon_thumright:
 

Great display of buttons and CW lead. Great job. The cone shaped bullet you mentioned...if you are referring to the top left bullet, that is a Ring Tail Sharps bullet, and a nice find.
 

Could it be a 36 picket???20191230_160533.jpg20191230_160608.jpg
 

Looks like a picket just not sure the caliber.Nice dig :icon_thumright:
