I was out detecting at the local backyard battlefield and came across this. At first I thought that it was a piece of twisted electrical wire and threw it on the trash side of my pouch. After several days of being in the pouch, I took a closer look at it and realized that it was solid brass not insulated copper wire. It appears that at one time it was straight. There is a very dark patina on it. I'm thinking that it was civil war related based on its age and location found. I have found cavalry related items in the same field. I'm not sure what it belongs to and asked a buddy to look in his artifact book. Does anyone know what this is? Or what it belongs to?

There are no markings on it.

I threw a quarter in the pic for a size reference.

Thanks! ???
