Hey Kelley, with the dragon on it I'd say it was probably made in Europe, possibly France and came to Texas through Mexico. Maybe Mexican Army issue, used in some battle against those Rebeldes Tejanos like the ones that held the Alamo.
The brass cap looks like the hand end cap of the ramrod.
It might have been droped or thrown away by a local Indian.
I'd go over that hole area with a fine tooth comb and a magnifing glass.
Very cool finds man.
