Oh brother did you find the right spot!

I believe you dug a 8th corps insignia/badge/attachment !
Civil War
Killer find any day of the week!
A lot of times, the troops would fashion the insignia themselves. Whether being from coin/button or copper. Even if trench art, it's still a killer find.

The Eighth Corps proper was created by General Orders No. 84, July 22, 1862, which designated the troops under Major-General John E. Wool as the Eighth Corps. These forces were stationed in Maryland, at Annapolis, Baltimore, Harper's Ferry, along the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., east of Cumberland, and along the railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester, Va.

Here's where the fun begins.
