Dug in central VA today with AT Pro along with 3 dropped mini balls and 2 dropped 69. Cal mini balls 5 round balls and 1 dropped confederate enfield but this cape pin was my first check it out leave some info if yall could I know what it is for the most part but not to swift on if it can be ID to a regiment or specific group or even its potential value. I say it was a good start to a great Father's Day. HH!

Nice one! I found one in Charles City a few years back but didn't realize what it was until a relic show a few months later

Nice! I know nothing about it but it would look great surrounded by the bullets. Thanks for sharing.

I heard the style I found is pretty rare people find them just like Joeyfresh said he found one but people don't find them really often I'd say the one I found is in ok shape but I'll take it lol just wish there was more info on that style I known a few things about them but not enough I still always want to know more ha like I said I know it's union and it's a cape pin and I have seen some go for all around prices but yea lol always want to know more but thank you all

This is the one I found. It's listed in the North South Traders price guide under cape pins for a couple hundred bucks. The guide also states that the star and crescent was the isignia of the 7th Corps but Ive read nothing else that states that.
