While the spur is usually made of brass, the rowel was usually iron and rusted away over the years.

Agree, you seldom see the rowel intact.  Great find, Tom!  Though, I don't really mind digging minie balls all day, the spur tells you that there must be some buttons and other goodies there too so keep pounding that site.
