I dug these at an old cellar hole....They were very far apart....One has a small chain on top..they both have solder on back...anyone know what they are?

Washington Artillery Dress Baldric Insignia. circa 1855 - 1885. In the photo its attached to the lions head with a chain.

What interests me, is why '2' in the same cellar hole, did the guy have a spare set?
