Possible Scabbard Tip?

[JimBru]

Dug a little bit ago. Decent amount of Civil War activity in my area. Was thinking possibly a knife or sword scabbard tip, but just guessing at this point.

Any thoughts?

Not certain. It registered as 83-84 on the Garrett AT Max.

Maybe an end to a powder horn

IMO... "side knife" sheath tip.

Something perhaps like this...

It kinda looks like it’s made of lead?

Hard to even speculate until the material is confirmed

Doubt it's a scabbard tip. It's too thick and there's not indication of attachment holes. I dug an item almost identical to yours a few years back. Mine was crude like that and made of a thick pewter kinda metal.
