While the spur is usually made of brass, the rowel was usually iron and rusted away over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, you seldom see the rowel intact. Great find, Tom! Though, I don't really mind digging minie balls all day, the spur tells you that there must be some buttons and other goodies there too so keep pounding that site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
