Welcome to Tnet! You may want to give us a few more clues. Where was it found? Type of metal? Photo of the other side? Any writing on it?

A genuine, certified, bonafied Whatzit! Welcome to the forum! Can you tell us a little more about it, and maybe provide some more photos? Thanks!

It is brass. It was dug in NC beside the cape fear river. We have found some revolutionary relics but still not sure what this is. No writing but looks to be a face of some sort on the top.

Looks like a Georgia Bulldog---maybe off a walking stick

Ok I don't know what they are called,
But it's a heel cap for a flint lock pistol.

Thanks very much all. And you are exactly right. Found out it is to a 1720s Queen Anne period flintlock pistol. Butt cap
