Duane, can you prop your "hook" up at a different angle or two and provide some more photos? That would help.
 
Hey Patrick H do you think its a strap hook?

It is a sling hook and the gear piece is from a large pocket watch. And all I found today was a few bullets and a MVC button.

So I have dug 63 round musket balls in this one little camp erea most 69 but a few 58s.I have a question most of the 69s have little pressed in round spots on them I thought this might be were buck was with them but have not dug any buck in this camp. We have dug it on battle field. Posting 2 pics one showing 58 and 69 and another showing 69 up close with impressions.

Many would segregate the buck from the ball and then utilize the buck as a large shotgun type round, look at it as hand held canister.
