Due to the fact that most CS officers and cavalrymen brought there own horses, Id'ing a stirrup as CS is difficult as they made thousands of them during the period for civilian use. It all come down to where it was dug. If dug in a CS camp along with other items that are CS then I would say yes. If not, its just a stirrup.

Yes it was dug were SC button was found. But it was within eye sight of where Shermans men crossed the Pee Dee river in SC.

Was there a ferry crossing there?

Ford, but they had to build a pontoon bridge across it. In the records they estimated the river at 900' wide at the time. I know the 14 & 20th corp and Kilpatrick crossed there. I think some of the 15 and 17th may have. Most of them crossed lower down river in Cheraw.
