Any idea what this is?

I have no clue.

Does any one know what it could be?
It was dug a few feet from the Louisiana button.


Shoot!

I forgot the size reference.

2 inches long

That was my first thought as well, but I don't see where it would've attached to the gun. The hole in the item is also not typical of ramrod channels...but it is the right length.

Looks to thin for a guide for a ramrod. Once you loaded you had to hurry up and get the ramrod seated back and you can be rough on it when in a hurry. It does look like it attached to a round piece of wood by a pin.

Ramrod pipes have a tab for a pin, or are soldered to the under rib. No tab, no solder, no ID.

The hole looks like a rivet hole, like on a scabbard tip, but this is not Springfield or Enfield.

It does, however, (photo #2) appear to have the Brit broad arrow stamp.
