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 1219151825a.jpg 1219151825a.jpg 1219151825.jpg 1219151825b.jpg 1219151825c.jpg 1219151824.jpg

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
