✅ SOLVED Is this navy related?

[Nfp325]

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here so I’m sorry if I’m doing anything incorrectly! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this? I found it in a farm field and didn’t think much of it until about an hour later when I was lucky enough to be able to save a USA Continental army button. After returning home I did some reading about the area and in a local history book I found out there was a reported Revolutionary war camp on the exact road of the farm I was detecting. I’m obviously hoping it’s connected to the Continental Navy but I know chances are it’s just a piece to appeal to those interested in nautical items, either way I can’t find any information about it and would love some help!

Cool dig! I think we've seen one of those posted on this forum in the past. Sadly, my aging and addled brain can't recall enough detail to find the old thread. It was more than 2 or 3 years ago. I believe it was solved and that the item is related to US Naval Officer's dress uniform from the turn of the 19th C. Maybe not Rev War but maybe 1812. I'll keep searching. Hopefully others will chime in.

Hey Matt thank you for the reply! That would be awesome and I’d be thrilled if it were from a War of 1812 Naval officers dress uniform! Hopefully someone can find the old thread I’m very intrigued!

early neck stock ornament may be the answer, here is an older thread about an identical one. I remembered it because I have one on my cases that I also dug up.

✅ SOLVED - A real Stumper

I posted this in the past but got no solve. I cleaned it up and took better photos. It looks like it is copper, but I am not sure. I don't know if the little holes around it means it was attached to something with little rivots, screws or nails. I don't know if the anchor is a navy thing or if...

Homespun woman and anchor plate?

Hello, from today's finds in Fl. Rookie mistake on the anchor plate... busted it up getting to it but it's copper and very thin with no broken nail holes so not sure if it was ever mounted and no idea what it is, and as for the brass or copper lady? no clue as to age or function. Thanks for...
