    Awesome! Highly likely that is part of a Springfield Rifled Musket trigger gaurd and trigger as well. Note all Rifle Muskets are rifles.

    That is a real beauty there.

    The hole sucks but atleast it's small and at the top.

    Amazing coin

    Re: 1858 seated half found in Civil War camp!

    Great finds Mike.
    Congrats on that fine looking silver coin. I know most folks don't like a holed coin due to the value lost, but to me they really mean more than one that isn't holed. It must of meant a great deal to someone in those days.

    Can I ask what it says on the oval tag in the upper left of one of your pictures?
    I found a similar one from the 1930's that said something like, "Property of........, If found please return to........Reward offered."

    Thanks,
    MM
