Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I found it near a Civil War sight.

Maybe a boot heel plate?

Could it possibly be an epaulette?

Looks like it could be a martingale from around that period.

I don't think it would be a heel plate. 2 nail holes wouldn't keep it on for long. All Heel plates I have seen are horseshoe shaped with 6 to ten holes.
