Thanks again for that ID help.. just spoke with a guy about that bar and he says the back is a "T-bar" design, the type of design that was common during the Civil War for items such as corps badges, etc.

Some debate between cloth and metal , in this case GOLD metal The braided edge on your find is different than picture reference . I would guess the CSA and Union used cloth and this piece is civilian . Hard to say , could be used on a dress uniform . One of those ...may never know digs

Great work on the digs and display
interesting item 'handmade sinker', dug a very similar one a few days ago.
forgive the hijacking to show again how similar finds get posted in short periods
best digs to you

Jeff,
Great looking display. Well done. I'm not sure if you realized it but with the positioning of those rusty nails in the case you spelled out "I love relics" in Chinese. O.K. that may be a stretch.
Some great pieces in there. The gold piece has been very informative.
