Photograph of "dig" taken in 2016. One horseshoe and partial piece of a horseshoe; 3 Musket balls; 5 buttons; 1 piece of Spanish Colonial pottery; 1 small bag of soil from "the dig", and 1 flash drive showing numerous items being taken from the "dig" in 2016. With provenance letter detailing the excavation of the relic from a well documented dig on the North East section of the Alamo battleground. During the battle, the third column of Santa Anna's Army attempted to breach the Northeast section, along with Mexican cavalry. They failed to breach the wall as the Texas defenders repulsed both waves. This section of the battlefield would have seen heavy cannon & musket fire, and likely heavy casualties on the Mexican side in this area of the battlefield.
