This is an excavated relic from a camp near Orange, Virginia.
Using a brass star and crescent cape pin, some creative or bored soldier made this piece. Creating a mold by pressing the original cape pin into the ground, he then poured melted lead in to that “mold”.
This “casting” features the star and crescent design as well as two protruding points for some sort of attachment. The piece was never trimmed and finished.
Measuring 1.25” across, the lead has a good light tan patina. [jet] [ph:L]
