New digger!

[LByles]

Good morning all and early Merry Christmas! My husband and I recently started digging and yesterday we found something interesting. We have no clue what it is and I was wonder if any of y’all could help out. It registered as silver/copper on the detector and is solid. Any ideas? Found in the same field as a Civil War artillery shell and an 1820-1830’s great coat button. Lots of history in this area and known path during the Civil War. But also in the oldest town of Louisiana, so no telling what all came through this field.

I haven't seen anything quite like that, but it looks a bit like the end part of an artillery shell time fuse... although definitely not the usual Bormann type.

Curiosity is still killing me. Cleaned up the mystery object a bit more. I found a tiny “20” on the inside part of the back. Also noticed hole is made of a different material than the rest. I’ve been enjoying digging but my OCD is going haywire from not being able to know for sure what stuff is!
