Yankee lead and Gen. Lee??

[ironman200081]

Hello all. Last weekend I hunted a spot that has been productive for shot bullets in the past. I found a variety of bullets; .69 and .58 minies and assorted pistol bullets. I also found a Henry casing. In addition to all that jazz, I found a brass image of what appears to be Robert E. Lee?? It was originally silvered. I wonder if it was a button or tin lid? Instead of war period, I am guessing that it was dropped by someone in the crowd during Jefferson Davis' visit to this spot in 1875. Davis made a tour through Missouri during that time, and thousands gathered to see him at his stops, many decked out in Confederate paraphernalia. What do y'all think?

Also, I had another hunt last weekend that I posted on the CTX forum because I found a lot of bullets and misc. Here is the link if you want to check it out:
