This is an excavated Civil War iron picket pin.  A regulation piece of equipment for cavalrymen. Used to stake-down a horse temporarily while on picket or grazing.

Measures approximately 13” long overall.  Iron “figure 8” loop swivels around the top. The “ball” at the top is somewhat flattened from being hammered into the ground.

Untreated iron is rusty as is typical for “dug” relics but iron is in very good condition and stable.

Recovered from a New York cavalry camp site near Fredericksburg, Virginia.

A “dug” picket pin in great shape.   [jet]  [PH:L]
