I have been searching Fort Ord but its maddening because you can't go ANYWHERE without finding brass. So I decided to focus on the old Calvary practice field. It's near where the last Calvary horse (Comanche) is buried in a little memorial plot. That is next to the concrete watering trough the built.
I went after relics instead of coins. On the Etrac the "12" line is generally the coins, silver, etc...the good stuff. But brass is almost always 12-21. So then I found a couple of items. The horse shoe was at a measure 18". Based on location and condition, I believe it's a horse shoe from the Army Calvary days. I also know from research that around
1907-1908, the Buffalo Soldiers bivouacked in the same area. That would be cool if it was from their stay.
The other item was found in the same field. I don't know what it is. I was found at about 12". I also posted on the "What is it" thread. However, nobody has ID'd it. The stem looks like it would fit into a hole for mounting. I've seen a similar mounting configuration with the tapered tip that have the small teeth. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to post a comment.
IM SORRY FOR THE TYPO ON ARMY IN THE HEADING.
