know what it is ( old tiny pocket sized pewter saint statue) which saint is it?

please help ID this saint -- on this mini pocket carry sized pewter saint statue * it was found at a old church building site ( NOT CATHOLIC and long since destroyed) where there was some fighting at during the civil war *---union troops were using the church as a lookout spot and and the rebel troops attacked it driving them off --

i found this today while hunting for bullets --at first i thought it was some sort of monoploy token till i checked it out closer. -- being i had "lead" notched in --this pewter religious item rang up . -- he with the left arm- is holding a cross against his body in slanted fashion upwards toward the right shoulder side --on the right hand side-- held by the right hand -- it has some sort of small short staff running from the right side foot area to about chest high.

only found 2 non trash items on this short lil hunt -- about an hour ---found the "relic" and a old (about 5 gallon sized) flat bottomed metal bucket as well that had a "chain and clip type" handle -- along with this item --on "the other side of the wall"-- i think it might have been a privy pot or water bucket type item---- it was in the corner of the church on the other side (inside of the wall ) by where the relic (outside of the wall) was found --it took a lot of work and time to dig the bucket out -- so iI have only just started hunting the area really -- my wife had finished her doctor appt ( the site was nearby so I thought I'd check the spot out while she was at her drs office ) so with her being done with the doctor --- i had to got after finding just those 2 items ---

I will be headed back looking for more stuff. :read2: :thumbsup:
