Sword Loop??

[relichunters]

Found this in an area where my friend and I have found a few Sharps Carbine Civil War bullets. It has a green patina on it, and it's quite heavy for its size so I am thinking copper instead of brass.

I am hoping it's a sword loop that the straps go through to carry it. It has a pattern etched in it.

Any ideas? It was found on undisturbed ground about 4 inches deep, same as most cw bullets there.

Like this civil war sword here.

Maybe move this to "what is this?"

Looks like a sword loop to me. Nice find.
