My buddy found this a couple weeks ago and I believe it is a 4 corps badge ?? Could anybody help me I.D. this badge ? It measures about 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"
 
Was the 4th corps camped in the area it was found? I'd say its a possibility, those holes look like the remains of some type of attachments
 
yes I believe the 4 corps was in our area ( Pulaski Tn. ) I think they were the Army of the Cumberland.
 
Here is a link that may be a little help . Good luck. CCH

The reality is that you'll never be able to definitively say that the piece was a corps badge without any identifying marks or existing attachments. However, I would lean towards a corps badge if the provenance of the site where it was dug defined it as such. If everything coming out of the ground was civil war era, and it was where the Army of the Cumberland was known to be, its very likely that's what it was. On the flip side of that argument, if it was found in an area where 90% of the targets are modern with a few CW finds mixed in, it makes it extremely tough to prove the piece is a badge. The reason I say all that is because a triangle is not a very "stand-alone" shape like some of the other corps badges. It has seen many uses throughout time, past and present.
 
I think I found the prof that the 4corp Army of the Cumberland was camp in Pulaski here is a link 4corp Army of the Cumberland
Everything we found at this location has been civil war relics . I think we may have found a place where they camp for a few days ? Here are a few more relics I found at this location.
 
Lots of williams cleaners; soldiers would toss 'em pretty regularly. Didnt like them much. cch
 
We dug 17 of those williams cleaners in about a 2 foot square at this same location it was crazy fun!!!! after we found 3 or 4 in this same hole I would just dig a scoop and run my pinpointer over the scoop and there would be 2 or 3 more , I guess a soldier was setting there going through his ammo . Lots of fun !!!!
