The site dates back to 1880. And I have found several coins that go back to that timeframe

Interesting piece. Any marks whatsoever on the back? Tiny makers marks maybe?

Your pendant seems to be an inexact imitation of the logo on a US Army Artillery collar-insignia disc from 1910 to 1926, which had crossed cannons with the regiment-number and company-letter (but no "US" on it). Being inexact, your pendant would not be a Military-issued insignia or medal. I think Igarod's guess is on the right track... a Reunion badge, or perhaps what is known as a "sweetheart" pendant (manufactured for sale to soldiers' wives, daughters, or girlfriends, to show their connection and support for the soldier).

The photo below shows a 1910-to-1926 type of US Army Artillery collar-insignia disc, worn by soldiers in Company E of the 325th Artillery Regiment (or Battalion). You can see the similarity to what is shown on your pendant.
