Found another horse bit

[Barneymartin3]

Found another horse bit at a Civil War skirmish site. What type is it and does it date the period?

Also found a dropped .54 Burnside bullet, A Hotchkiss shell fragment, several small musket balls, a lead seal, and various iron objects.

Nice finds, throw that bit in electrolysis for a few days it'll be beautiful.

That's a nice save, especially given the fact that it could date back to the Civil War. It's neat when you can identify the time period of a find.
