Military Badge?

[Valley Ranger]

I found this piece on a site that dates to at least the 1870's. Possible military activity in the area, both Civil War and Revolutionary. Appears to have the image of a soldier stamped on it - any ideas as to what it is, date? Thanks.

Yes, I was thinking watch FOB too, but the image got me considering military. Thanks for the input.
