Hello everyone, :hello:

I was hunting the outskirts of a privately owned private cemetery I had permission for. With my cousin, (Remember its a private area and we had permission, also we did not hunt on top of the graves:dontknow:) The graves date to mid 1800's. I was hunting the outside border and found what I think is my first "Civil War era Rivet". :icon_scratch: It has leather still on it. :headbang: If anyone knows more about it please tell. Here are some pictures, I hope you enjoy this post.:notworthy:

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:

I wish I had some knowledge of your find. All I can say is it definitely looks old. That white patina on it made me think it was a musketball or some piece of lead anyway. Don't think I have seen brass turn that color yet. Hope you get it confirmed!:icon_thumright:
