Need help ID military button

[RelicMaster777]

Went to a small old school yard that has a lot of history. The oldest coin found there was a KG III. I have pretty much hunted this area out and targets are pretty hard to come by and I only look for targets 6" or deeper there. So I went there with my Nox 800 and my new 17 inch coil. Right off the bat I got a nice 12 signal turned out to be a 1883 v Nic. Then dug a horse tack buckle and then a buff, a piece of lead that I thought was a fired bullet. Then a part of a dinky toy. Then I hit a fairly deep target turnout to be a blowhole button, then another deep target that was a 1800's two piece that I could see was military. Then a target that looks like a copper ring but I'm not sure. The last target was the top of a two piece button that has a crest on it and some writing but I can't make out what it says ( might be latin) as it's to bent up.


Is this a ring?

Being from Louisiana it keeps looking like the pelican in our state flag. Not sure if that is what it is or not.

You made some great saves at the old school yard!
This site has obviously seen a ton of activity over the past 150+ years.

Love that early brass ring find too,
Dave

It looks like a pelican button to me as well. Long way from home!
