On day two with my new AT Pro, I found a finial in my yard, my fourth to date. When I posted the first two finial, readers said they were most likely bullet pouch finials. When I found the 3rd one, the consensus was not the same. I found all of them, including the fourth, a few feet apart (5ft to 6ft) and also in the vicinity of where I found two Civil War bullets, a Wilson Cleaner, 2 musket balls and grapeshot.
While I'd like to think these are pouch finials, I really don't know. Given the amount of fire pits and old animal bones I've found, I believe my land may have been a very brief makeshift CW camp sight. If so, these finds would make sense but one or two of the finials seem slightly different. I know there were different versions of finials on pouches but these are generally the same.
One looks to have a black finish with a thicker base and a deeper threaded base. Two have hints of gold/gilt or brass finish. The size and style seems right but if they're not pouch finials, what are they?
