He said it was the wreath to an early militia buckle(federal eagle). It was in my trash from some farm field digging I did about a month ago and I can't even be sure which farm field it was. The reason I threw it in the trash is because it is so thin and when it was covered with dirt it just seemed like a thin piece of hardware. Last week when I knocked the dirt off I could see the leaves and thought: "This might be something". I'm glad I went through the trash instead of just dumping it!
