Some CW finds after work. Couple nice eagle buttons, bullets and unknown brass piece

[matt092079]

Got out for a little after work this evening and the weather was perfect for diggin'! I got onto a good spot pretty quick, first good target I dug was the small pistol bullet. Then I got the really nice large eagle button. Was really happy to see that in the plug 'cause I haven't dug any nice eagle buttons in a few months! I decided to take a stroll in the woods and ended up finding a whole bunch of modern gun shells, but did find one cw pistol bullet and a small round ball. I left the woods after that and went back to the spot and almost as soon as I started swinging I got a really nice eagle cuff button! After that a few more bullets, spencer, 3 ringer, button back and on my way back to the truck found this unknown brass piece pictured. Any ideas? Thanks for looking and HH!

Nice grouping of finds. The unknown brass piece is a hook that is attached to the scabbard of a sword.

Check the link above for an example of this on an 1840s musicians sword. I have found many of these broken off in Civil War camps as well as a few whole ones.
