Civil War Camp Finds & Native American Artifacts

[mangum]

Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted. I haven't been getting out much due to the heat & very dry, hard ground. We located a Civil War site this weekend we have been waiting to get on for quite a while (plowed fields, easyish hunting other than tobacco rows & stalks). I feel honored to be able to save this history. I know the group of soldiers that dropped these relics & the exact day they were camped on the site. It's all about the history for me! In total we recovered about 20 bullets, 2 j hooks, piece of a belt keeper & a lot of camp lead. I also found a few broken Native American artifacts while detecting which is always fun. It's not a belt plate or anything great but it's special to me. Any help with the unknown relics would be great, I can post additional photos if needed. HH!

Look at the 4th pen from the left on the top MG. That trumps my one .58 from yesterday & 3 bullets this am-LOL HH, Q.

Thanks for the help guys. The only thing that makes me unsure about this is that it appears to be solid brass. I can tell there was once something attached at each end. The ones in the example appear to be hollow. Here's another photo.

The quill part could have been attached to the part broken off. I'm no pen expert for sure MG. HH, Q.
