My son and I went detecting yesterday ( 08/01/17 ) and he found this, I have tried my best to put it in new posts, but couldn't figure out how to do it, if anyone could tell me step by step how to post I would appreciate it !!!, but for now I will have to use the introduce yourself part of the forum, anyway below is a picture of the item, I have searched most of the day on the internet, but without luck, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Looks more like some sort of clock mechanism. Royal Corps of Watchmakers?

You might try looking up GUILD emblems or badges. Good luck, DJ.
