Went digging today. Found some very old bunkers on a hillside dug around them after finding some sound signals a couple wheat pennies an old chain and then I found what seemed to be just a big iron pull knob. After getting at home and rinsing it off so handsome olive oil Duluth and some of the dirt and rubbing it off I started to see the imprint of an eagle and a shield. I instantly recognized that as it is very similar to the Great Seal buns it is extremely heavy most likely made of copper or bronze. Anyone knows anything more than what I have said please write to me and let me know

No clue on what it is, but I'm interested to see what it turns out to be.

That is a very interesting piece indeed - think you have a sword pommel, not a cane topper. Looking for a possible match now.

Yep - think this is it: regulation Civil War M1860 Staff & Field Officer sword
