Being a longtime hunter from Northern Indiana now replanted back in KY it's fun as heck for me to find even just a few Civil War items to dig. Got me a 69 Minnie, 36 Colt, General Service Eagle Coat button, chain that may or may not be off a nipple protector and a huge finial that may or may not be off a flag pole. lol. Lead washer and tiny buckle.

I enjoy finding even just a few Civil War relics...

Even though it's next door and not at the actual site it still turns up a CW goodie or two every time I go there. It was a house site. The property on the other side is the same but less to dig.
I've been on the actual site 4 times and did well but won't be going back, at least for awhile. I think I was finding too much and the owner wasn't satisfied with taking 50% of my finds. That's his right of course. I don't blame him. If it was my property, I'd want it all too!

My first thought when looking at the chain was that maybe it held a nipple protector. I dug one minus the chain in Virginia a few years ago. Here's a shot of it.
