Hello guys, I found this cool piece of a spur, it looks like some I’ve seen in Civil War pictures. Could it be from the Civil War, or is it just from the same era?
I found a confederate infantry button at the same site.
It definitely could be, but that doesn't mean it was. You need to let the other finds help you establish the possible age. It does look somewhat like a standard union spur.

Haven't seen or dug any Union spurs that looks like this one. Actually looks more Confederate to me with the flatness of the outer surface, but if you zoom a little and notice the bevel on the inner surface, has me leaning it civilian or slightly post war.
