Strange handle or ???

Again sorry about the bad pics i broke my good camera in the woods a couple of weeks ago

Found this at a cellar hole i have been hunting the last month or so pulling amazing finds from.

The cellar was abandoned around 1880 and this was 10 inches deep..

I would say it dates before that and to my amazement noticed it still has paint on it

I never find relics with paint on them in these colonial cellars..
It appear to have wood inside like maybe it was a tip to a flagpole


Found it near a Rhode Island militia beautiful Civil war 2 piece button

Maybe the end of an old cane?

An auger used to enlarge a hole? Monty

Very thin brittle material to thin for that..

It really has gotten me thinking the top to a flag pole

I have been looking at Civil war flags but have not seen a top like it

Seeing i found it near my best Civil war find yet

I'm with Jim ... tip to a cane. Especially since it has evidence of wood inside it.
