Okay, after contacting several people and organizations, and getting no response, I noticed the owner of the pool store across the street had a lot of religious items on the wall. Turns out he gave me the answer, thanks john at pinch a penny. Looks like St. Barbera, patron Saint of firefighters, Gunners.
miners, stone masons and Field artillery, which is was in back in the day.

Some small irony digging up a patron of miners huh, probably should keep it. Still dont know compostion of medal or if stone is real. You can look up likeness on internet. Oh in the other hand
as you will see is a sword and atop the sword is a tassle type flag.

Yep. Saint Barbara the Great Martyr.

I would guess the stone is a garnet ruby. Real enough but not very valuable.

Cool find.
