Found near civil war campsite

[mreese1849]

So I had a short hunt today around a spot that I found a good bit of civil war relics (buttons, bullets, buckles, knapsack hooks) and I'm not sure what it is. Hoping you guys can give me some info. Thanks

Hi Michael, It may be part of an old candlestick holder (fingerhole) Cheers, Sub

Thank you guys! That was an idea I had and it looks like that would be it. Did the soldiers ever use candle holders like this? Silly question but just curious if it could be civil war era as well...
