I found this item over ten years ago. I found it when I was 13 years old with my first metal detector. The house I found it at has a lot of history including that it was built by a man who fought in the Civil War. The house is near Pittsburgh. I never found out what it was and it has just been sitting on a shelf at my parents house. I'm back into metal detecting and bottle digging so here I am haha. For the item I think it's copper. It is about the size of a silver dollar maybe bigger? I can make out "OTM" on the front (bottom) and above that a bow that goes I to a wreath I believe. It looks like big letters in the wreath. Also inside the wreath it is different than the rest of the object. Held up to the light it is a blue glassy background around the letters. On the back it look liked it had something to be attached to clothing or whatever. And at the bottom there is very small letters I can't really make out. It possibly says "for" towards the end to the right. This may be a kids toy or some super rare medal. I have no clue and am too afraid to clean it. I hope someone has found something similar I would like to report to the homeowner what it is. Thanks in advance!
