Found a Bayonet and a Civil War Federal Eagle Button (I)

[riverdiver]

I went diving yesterday after some heavy rain in our area hoping to scare up some goodies, I uncovered a rusty bayonet a severely corroded federal eagle coat button with backmark and shank intact and some more marbles, pottery, ammo, another clay pipe and an odd shaped little bullet.

Nice finds river digger ! Are you 100% sure the bullet couldn't be a finial of some sort? What is it made of,lead? I may be totally wrong though,just guessing.Maybe you could post a larger picture of just the bullet and an expert here can help you.
