Old Wagon Road

[Conito@55]

Today I went out to explore an old road that appeared to be a wagon road. I found many old horseshoes and a few oxen's shoes.

I also found a four-hole button, with an inscription "IMPROVED FOUR HOLES" and a small buckle.

The best thing was apparently a military buckle. But I'm not sure what it is, I hope someone can help me identify it.

That’s a union breast plate.

Great find! With all the rocks everything got bounced around and lost to time.

Buckle is awesome. Seems like you can’t go wrong a find has a federal eagle on it
