Pistol parts minus the barrel found at a civil war spot.

[DirtyMike]

I am trying to find out what type of pistol that I found. Any ideas?

The brass piece at the top of the first pic looks like part of an Enfield trigger assembly

Absolutely.





The iron ring looks like a barrel band.

I might be wrong but I think you might have pieces to a couple different guns. The nose cap looks like it could be from a rifle but can't think of which one right off.

Is that a flat spring from a rifle to the right?

This could very well be the case. I just assumed they were to one gun cause of the close area they were found in. You know what assuming does for ya though.

It very well might be. I thought the same about the trigger assembly and the spring but I did not know if they were used on other firearms.

It's a main spring. On a percussion gun they went inside the lockplate. Outside the lockplate on a flintlock. I believe yours went to a rifle also. Kind of hard to tell from the pic though
