HELP ID THIS RELIC FIND Was out today relic hunting a farm field in Virginia. Colonial, revolutionary war, and civil war artifacts/relics are possible in this area.
You know the story, I was about to pack it in and reluctantly come home empty (save a few modern bullets and big iron). You know what they say, "you are only a swing away from making a discovery", so I decided to give it a few more swings and came across this relic. It immediately struck me as something old and possibly worthwhile. I thus went home with a relic and a mystery.
I love a mystery as it makes the day more worthwhile and I always learn something.
See pics below. To me, it looks like brass and has a green patina.
Any hunches, guesses, informed speculation, or empirical hypotheses are WELCOME.
