This was an interesting discovery I had today but I am not sure what it is? I would assume it is brass. The area I found it in has had colonial and civil war activity. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answer! I am relatively new to relic hunting so I appreciate the help. What would be the best way to clean it?

Its best not to clean too much. Patina is actually desirable because it helps authenticate an item as being old as opposed to a reproduction..
