It kind of looks like a lead finial to me since it has the iron piece in the middle. A finial was used like a button to close the leather flap cartridge boxes and cap boxes. Most of them were brass but both sides imported foreign made muskets and gear. It could also be the end piece of a bayonet scabard same here most were brass but imports and cs made scabards used lead or no tip at all.
Nice Finds search that spot well
