I was detecting a union camp on a farm which was one a field hospital just outside of Gettysburg. I was popping 3 ringers 3 to 5 inches along with a few newer bullets from hunters. this pendant was 12" down.... was it buried on purpose? there are some on line close to it. the others have a cross in an angle through a crown without Jesus Christ on the cross. and others have the words rotated. I was told masonic lodge .... but higher than the blue lodge. I was told knights of Columbus, I was told they were handed out to soldiers during the Gettysburg Civil war reunion. I cant get a straight answer or any pictures to back up what it is. just not sure of a war relic since it has Latin writing on it.

Reunion badge. 3rd was Yankee unit. George Custer was a company officer. Parkersburg was official town where mustered up men.
Many cities both sides had reunions and gave badges. Mine is Camp General John B Gordon Macon, Ga, 1912.. the only year Macon got the Confederate reunion. Nice piece . __________________ |

Custer fought a mile from where this was found. he fought on rt116..... this was found on rt97.!!! Last edited by sweetinsanity; 05-21-2019 at 04:19 PM. |

CALVARY = Place where Christ was crucified.
CAVALRY = Soldiers riding horses into battle. THIS IS A KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PENDANT. NOT CAVALRY, NOT A REUNION BADGE. ALSO, REMEMBER THE WESTERN COUNTIES SEPARATED INTO West Virginia AND APPLIED FOR RE-ADMISSION TO THE UNION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAR. |

I even showed it to all the religious stands with badges that were close at the metal detecting shows. I sent pictures to knight Templar specialist.... they never got back with me. |
