"Civil War 8th corps badge!"

I was told this is a "Civil War 8th corps badge!" It was found with the dfx dd coil. We hit a lot down from where we found the c.s.a. belt plate. It was down around six inches in the ground. Reading one dollar on the dfx, with a high pitch sound so I decided to dig it. I thought it might be back in the western days, because they made badges out of tin can back then.It is a six point star. Thank for looking, any input would be great!

nice badge, not a CW expert but sure seems like a keeper anyway you look at it Too bad it did not have any writing.

The Corps boys would either have their insignia fashioned from buttons, silver coins or whatever they had available. They were proud to wear their insignia. Yours, possibly trench art is in my opinion, a great find.
Trench art is my final thought's. 8th corps
