You must be hunting near a graveyard.
They are markers for Civil War Vets. I believe it means Garrison of the American Revolution

That is just the neatest thing. Greg, are they just attached to the grave stones? If Pappy says they are worth that much I am surprised they haven't been pried off.
 About when were they issued?Cathy

They are on metal rods Cathy...infact there are a few laying outside our church basement door
 I won't bother them. Many of our tumbstones are very worn so its hard to see who the vets were.
