Sons of Veterans CW Medal

[RiverRat3]

Found this last week hunting a new spot. I originally posted in the "what is it" forum first. The way the dirt was encrusted on the medal I thought it was a high impact round from modern rifle until the land owner washed it off and showed me. I was happy and learned to double check everything. Medal says 1888 on the back. Interesting to find at a site that was a Civil War hospital. Makes you wonder if the family came back to visit the area.
