It looks like a hat letter. From the pic it looks civil war or Indian war period. From what I can see I would lean toward Indian war.

The fort you found that at was occupied by both Confederate AND Union troops. The Confederate Calvary troop was not "B"...no info on the Union yet...will keep looking. It does look like a hat pin though....nice find.

Can we get the exact size?

Looking at this again I'm certain it's Indian war as that period letters are smaller than the civil war period. Plus the parts of the letter are narrower than a civil war period letter
