at a educated guess this appears to be a Napoleonic eagle ...I would guess from a uniform

what depth did you get this at ? and what other stuff did you get from your outing ?

Smalleygardens,
What Ho chap,
Well it was about six inches down but the only find of its kind there was a musical brooch as well but it is modern Victorian one re the local FLO.
It does look like a military badge cap or some decoration but I cannot trace anything similar online.
Thanks for looking.

Looks a bit like a US military/airforce badge, nice find though, Liam
