Some more CW finds. Need help on bullet

[silversweeper]

Have hit the "hunted out" encampment site a few more times this past week. The weather here has been incredible and too nice not to be out digging relics. Found a few more bullets, my first complete pinfire (wahoo! ), a smashed general service button with great details, percussion cap, and some other odds & ends. Included is a handle that was almost definitely soldier-modified to be used as a tool of some kind? Any ideas? The handle part of it has a lot of scratches worn into it running length wise on both sides. There's also what I thought was just a bended piece of thick gauge wire at first but I've since been informed that it is a sword hanger (awesome! Just wish the sword were still attached!). And, also, one of my bullets is unfamiliar to me. My buddy who is more up on his civil war bullet indentities says that it may have been a large caliber pistol bullet. Did they make them that large for pistols? The bullet is about 25 millimeters tall, base is 13 mm wide and it does have the conical cavity in the bottom common to most three ring bullets. Two faint rings. I have small 3 ringers the same size. Lastly, I'm looking for a place to get a gauge that my bud has told me about that helps to identify bullet calibers via holes in the gauge (flat card of plastic with holes corresponding to different calibers). Anyone know what I'm talking about and where I might find one?
Thanks and happy hunting. Am itching to get out now and go look for some silver, have had my CW relic fix and need me some silver/gold....

Sorry SS no input as I hunt coinage, but very cool finds. There are definitely some interesting finds and questions as well. The handle that looks like it was modified, looks as though it was an eating utensil bent perfectly to serve a purpose. The coin like object with the Eagle on it, is it thick? does it have a loop on opposing side? Does it have print on reverse?

Thanks for post and pic's

Looks like a Speance bullet. But need to mic it and see the size and I can match it. Great finds !!!
