I thought this was just so cool.  At Digging in Virginia, a detectorist named Mike Staso dug this amazingly cool 1st US Cavalry ID Tag belonging to a soldier “John Saville, Co. K, 1st US Cav”

Someone then came up with this photo of this Cavalry group, noting that 3 men in the photo were wearing the badge.

If they figure it out, I’ll post an update!   I’m hoping this badge can make its way to the decedents!
