No idea!!

There is wood inside of the artifact. Not sure what this could be. Found it in an American Revolutionary training area, but not sure if this is a modern artifact or not?

Maybe the brass end of a "pointer stick" used for pointing at maps or the chalkboard. I can't think of the actual name they were called.

arrow tip

I believe it to be an inner ramrod tip. Most of them were tapered or rounded to allow easy passage through the thimbles.

Ramrod tip as in for a musket?

 

[dozer dan]

not sayin there arent any but i have never seen a convex ramrod tip.

all the ones i have seen were concave. i guess that was so they wouldn't damage the bullet or ball

which would be rounded.

also dont think there would be a reason for the taper of the one in the pic.

im kinda leaning towards a "tent post piece"

It does look like a field point to an arrow.

I agree with Buck, It looks like a ramrod tip....

Could it be a lead bullet or sinker on a piece of wood, perhaps someone tried to make a pencil out of it at one time? Some soldiers were known for making pencils with bullet leads this way. Just a guess by the size.
