Just got back from swamp island

[Truth]

I work my butt off today Man this little shell spot is brutal nothing but shells and roots but I managed to save another general service button, Colt pistol bullet, a lead or pewter leaf which was very deep under many roots I spent along time working to see what that signal was. And a brass piece it’s my second one and I have no idea what it could be. Any guesses would be appreciated.

Wondering if your brass piece is of the end of a sword , or knife sheath.

Wish I was as good at metal greenery as I am at other stuff LOL. No clue to be honest, any chance it could come of some sort of broken piece off a hat plate or anything? I know they had some intricate stuff back then. But all that's a throw in the dark.

No that’s exactly what it is a Burnside cartridge. Here’s the Burnside I found in the same area.
