Any relics, coins, or other items appearing in my finds signatures were found on PRIVATE PROPERTY with total consent and permission from the owners of said property.
Nice! Question though, is that part of a two piece, or complete as is?
It has the remnants on the back of a pin on each end and is one piece. I did research when I found the "IND" badge. After one year of enlistment in the union Army during the civil War, a soldier could purchase the pin for their state from a suttler's store. They could wear it and take it home after the war. The pins were private purchase and not government issued. The hardest to find are Tennessee, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin according to Larry Hicklen at Middle Tennessee Civil War Relics. Thanks for your interest.
Congrats on your well deserved banner find!!! Very interesting info.
Thanks for the super post.

Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.

That is an exceedingly impressive find my friend. I am impressed. This is what I love about this hobby - you learn so much history when you dig it and hold it in your hands!
