Confederate Snake Buckle!

[vadigger89]

I went out looking for arrowheads for awhile and found the two in the pictures along with the williams cleaner. Then I moved to another spot I believe to be a confederate campsite and decided to bring out the metal detector. I hunted for alittle while with no luck and then found the buckle part that the snake went through. I was cleaning the dirt off of it and noticed something in the ring and didnt know what it was it but I knew it wasnt dirt so I put it in my pocket. two steps later I get a strong signal and look down and see the snake part lying on top of the ground I picked it up and saw one head was missing. My first snake buckle! I hunted for alittle while longer and decided to call it a day. I got back to the house and clean my finds off and reach into my pocket to get the piece I wasnt sure what it was in the field. I take a better look at it and realize its the other head I thought was missing from the buckle. Does anyone think the round brass piece is a part of a spur? It is the size of a penny.
