My dad found something amazing.

Went to a well known civil war skirmish site and he went into the woods by the field and got this bayonet! Only showing one pic because he is going to post it on his account later. I got the war nickel and skeleton key butt

It's a bayonet not a scabbard.

What a great find! Congrats. Your key is likely the top of a barrel top key as opposed to a skeleton key. Only reason I know is I've dug several and that's the typical look of the bow portion.

Think I saw his post a few minutes ago.
Your key handle, bullet and the nickle, makes for a great hunt, for sure!
That 1943 War Nickel, all beat up, really speaks to me, reminding me of those terrible years to be involved in...!

Many kinds of strange things happen to a man when he's runnin' wild in the woods.
