Relic hunt turns Grapeshot and strange silver with symbol

[Ronin9868]

Hi Everyone, Went out for a bit early this morning and found my first Civil War Grapeshot. Like a baby cannonball. The piece that seems strange is a small silver stud with some type of design on it. Not sure if it from the Civil war period or colonial or present. It's a silver stud with a strange symbol. The pictures came out pretty good and anyone with any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking and can't wait for the cooler weather.

I have found similar silver studs but not with the same pattern. I thought Georgian belt decor, if not pretty sure it was on leather.

Heres a similar shape 18/19th century cufflink:

I think you nailed it, Crusader! I strongly suspected it was a cufflink before I even scrolled down and read your reply
