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

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
