Found this while metal detecting a field that I’ve dug a variety of aged stuff ranging from civil war breast plates and bullets to wheat pennies and buffalo nickels but this find has stomped me I’m hoping someone may have a clue what this came off off. Its a small clamp that when has the circumference close to a Morgan silver dollar. The name on it is Peter Macnab and is made mostly of silver. I’m hoping someone can ID this to come off an old musket or something. okay I’m pretty sure it’s not from a musket and missing a piece on the top side of the hinge. It’s also definitely to small to be from a pocket watch or something similar.
