Here is one like it - a GAR Veteran piece:

Very neat find! This is either a cuff link or some type of button, I'm really not positive. I'm leaning more towards a cuff link because there is an image on both sides. On the front it shows two men shaking hands with one man standing behind them. In the foreground is a woman kneeling with her child. Around the outer edge of the circle are the words "Grand Army of the Republic/1861 Veteran 1866". On the back is a scene of a pot hanging on a spit over a fire. The cuff link was patented on May 22, 1894. Not sure of the material, it looks like aged copper. Great little piece to add to your Civil War memorabilia collection!

Bramble,this button/cufflink was found by my son who is eleven years old found this with his garrett ace 250 in a cornfield where an old house used to sit in the 1800s.I truly
appreciate the willingness of the people on treasurenet to share their knowledge with the rest of us. Here is a photo of the back. Any suggestions for cleaning.
thanks RJ, CJ
