[Minorca-Joel]

Dear all,
I am new to this forum and have just joined in the hope that someone can help me identify this badge in the photo?
I found it in Minorca on the site of the battle of Minorca, 1756 and also later the siege of Minorca, 1781.
It looks French to me but I’m no expert on French badges (or any badges for that matter!)
I am assuming this as it was found in the area of one of the French encampments.
I would be grateful if any help identifying it.
Many thanks!
Badge is approximately 2 inches across, 2.5 inches in length.
No remains of any lugs to rear for fixing..
