Crap or Treasure?

[Jellybone]

Can anyone ID this one? Found in a 1900 dairy farm. I little bigger than a quarter. I would guess it is a Pin because of the metal soldered to the back. The Metal sticking up was folded down when I dug it at about 8 inches deep.

Treasure! It's ALL treasure...

Looks like the "torch of knowledge" and it also looks like "collar brass" or a huge button... more to follow.

I had to ask because it was at the same farm where this was found:

Jim, I knew I had seen one of these before but could not figure it out for the life of me! I think that is a couple you have solved for me or led me in the right direction! Good job on the research! Thanks so much!

Looks to me like an emblem of the US Army ROTC, which would be worn on uniform jackets.

ROTC = Reserve Officers Training Corps, a university military cadet program.

Yep, thats what it is from Montana Jim's link.

I knew that the two years I spent in the ROTC program would be useful someday.

Now can anyone help me out with my problem?

What is it?
