Awesome! Highly likely that is part of a Springfield Rifled Musket trigger gaurd and trigger as well. Note all Rifle Muskets are rifles.

Its holed but I will take it.

Most of the coins from that era are holed.. that is one sweeet coin.. To bad it is holed cause that is in exceptional condition....

No complaints here nice 1/2

That is a real beauty there.

The hole sucks but atleast it's small and at the top.

Nice Seated
I Want One Sooo Bad

Amazing coin 

Great finds Mike.
Congrats on that fine looking silver coin. I know most folks don't like a holed coin due to the value lost, but to me they really mean more than one that isn't holed. It must of meant a great deal to someone in those days.

Can I ask what it says on the oval tag in the upper left of one of your pictures?
I found a similar one from the 1930's that said something like, "Property of........, If found please return to........Reward offered."

Thanks,

I would be very happy. Looks like your at a good spot. Keep it up and I can't wait to see what else you get. 

Go deep dig it all ,,,, great finds.

Thanks everyone!

Very nice!

What is the hook shaped item between the coin and the trigger assembly to the left? I found one at a picket post and have never found out what it is.

Lets put it this way. I feel like I walked every square inch of that property. But alot of my finds came from the same side of the road as HQ, strait back to the cedar trees, and below "button hill". How was your luck?

I bet that coin was given to a son by his mother and father.  With instructions, "Now Son, you keep this and when the fighting is over you use it to get yourself back home." 

So they put it on a string around his neck so he wouldn't loose it.  That plan didn't work.

Probably hiked 10 mile's the first day for sure.My best was a scarce backmarked GS Eagle (EVANS & HASSALL * PHILA.)......The usual lead and brass and a piece of a canteen spout.You in Harpers Ferry?

 There is an area near Brandy Station VA called Atlanthus.  I checked and couldnt' find anyplace called Atlanthus in Va so it could be the place near Brandy.
