Old rope thimble?

[Thib]

Hello everyone I’m very new at forums and metal detecting! My son and I fool around behind my house which was once a civil war calvary camp ground. With that being said I’m sure this is some scrap I’ve dug up but I’m trying to identify it, I’ve found similar objects as rope thimbles for boating online but is odd because there are no nearby bayous. The object is either brass or bronze and heavy iron staples were found beneath this. Any ideas?
