Starndard Yankee enlisted mens artillery hat pin. Civil War period and in very good shape. Most are found broken. Congratulations on a great find! I've included a picture of a super rare extremely small Officers Artillery Hatpin I found in a Confederate position. It is a little bigger than a standard quarter. Only one of these I have ever found in over 25 years of hunting. Devonrex

Beautiful find! I think what you see as 3's are actually supposed to be part of the cannon barrel

Union kepi insignia, which was placed on the top of the headgear. Nice find.
