This piece is made of brass. It was attached to something iron, because of the rust on the end. About 1 7/8 inches long. 1/8 on an inch thick. Dug it on my uncles farm below Reams Station. I've dug a lot of relics here. Lots of cavalry action. This was beside the old Weldon Railroad. Thanks for looking. If you would like to see some of the relics from this site let me know. hh
