Unexpected relic

Last year I was hunting a property where a house once stood. I got a real loud high tone thinking it was going to be a can or something I dug it and found this brass eagle head. My first thought was that it was a cane handle or a flag topper but I researched it and discovered it was a early to mid 1800s officer saddle pommel.

That's really cool, I remember seeing one posted awhile ago. That would probably shine right back up too. Congrats!
