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 13” long overall.  Iron “figure 8” loop swivels around the top.

Untreated iron remains rusty as is typical for “dug” relics. Iron is stable.

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

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