I was going thru my finds today and throwing away some trash. I found this weird shaped brass/Copper? piece that I had dug awhile back. Because of the uniform shape of it, i started removing the dirt and it appears to be in the shape of a child's dress. Can't imagine what it was used for especially with the 2 holes in the bottom.
Maybe a decorative or piece of a child's toy, not sure. It's flat and embossed
Any Ideas?

It's cool to find these little surprises cleaning up your past finds.

My guess and strictly a guess is that it's a Women of the Confederacy Pin.
