When I first got a hold of this piece in the ground about 8 in deep, I could only feel the rounded smooth end and thought I had my first belt buckle.
When I pulled it out, and saw that rectangle spot in the middle, the first thing that struck my mind was a light switch plate/cover.
But the property owner told me I needed to see if that comes from a Civil War sword. There had been a civil war rifle and sword in the attic of the old house.
He has an original deed for the property from the king of England dated mid-1770s If I recall correctly.
I thought I could see some initials in that last photo but they aren't engraved so I think I'm imagining that.
