Cold blustery day finds. Scrounged up a few CW bullets, 1906 V Nickel and I.D. help?

It's been about 2 weeks since I had a full day to detect and of all days I get to go out it's cold and windy! It was nice when the sun popped out though. Either way, I went to the Winchester spot we've been hitting now for almost 2 years. We're still pulling some keepers out of there. Only thing is the farm is so huge and the fields are so big, you walk yourself to death sometimes. I started out the hunt with a rivet and a flat button as soon as I hit the field. Found 2 more rivets after that and a burnside and a spencer. Came back up to the front of the field where I found my sword plate a couple weeks ago and wasn't finding much. Found a few odds and ends, button back, another thing that looks like a button I guess...it's the item with the star in the middle. Worked my way up toward the slope of this hill in the field and pulled my second V nickel for the year...looks like a 1906. I was hoping for a shield nickel, but I'll take it anyway. I wondered around a bit more and pulled a few more bullets. Nothing too grand, but we know it's not always that way.

Can anyone I.D the piece in the pictures that I'm holding? Has a hole on the side of it...I was thinking it was a finial at first, but really not sure. Almost looks like a tuner for an instrument maybe...like a banjo perhaps. Any help would be great. Thanks for looking and HH!

Is the piece threaded? It looks like part of a drawer pull.

It's not threaded.

Congrats on the finds! The star piece, could that be the round key part to a oil lamp? Not sure about the other thing. Awesome V nickel, I can't wait to dig one!

It's possible it could be to an oil lamp I suppose. I was figuring an early 1900's overall button of some sort. Can't tell for sure.

You beat me today Matt... I enjoy the cold weather though when hunting beats the snakes,ticks and poison ivy any day.. The colder the better (well maybe not like 10 degrees cold lol) I was out surveying a new site today and spent 3 hours free roaming and only got one 3 ringer and didn't see any signs of hut sites or camp location. So it was a bust for me glad someone came out with something!

I've been kinda lucky with coins. Of course the coin to button/bullet/trash ratio is very low! lol
