kac Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Aluminum slag could be just burned beer cans, usually you get other slag from old burned buildings like tin and copper. Not an easy task digging around that kind of trash. Nice IH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Forgot to add this old brass spur I dug, it was pretty deep. Anyone know any dating on these? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Found it: Spur, Model 1859, Federal officer, scroll adornment. Spur was authorized under the Regulation 1859, and was issued to the officer cavalryman, large numbers were used in the 1864 cavalry campaigns. Spur is sturdy construction, exterior bar is rounded, interior bar is flat without strengthening groove, scroll adornment is cast in around the neck, neck is curved, rowel was often removed or damaged from use. Ref: Historic American Spurs, US12. M0901 Spur, Model 1859, Federal officer, scroll adornment. Recovered: Virginia campaign. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a Civil war relic! ?♂️ Threw it in my truck after I dug it, and totally forgot it. ? No maker's mark, but nearly identical to the one I researched. ? Lotta photos. Mine had the spur, the one they show has a plain "rowel". The identification guide is $80, don't think I'll buy it unless I find more. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what buddies like Chase are for. CW relics are always both surprising and pleasing for me when I occasionally stumble onto one. That's a very nice one in my un-expert eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
