Is this possible after changing from the Detached Head branch to an
existing branch?  How about if I don't remember the commit SHA1 ID?

What I did, to the best of my knowledge:
1) Checked out a previous version:
> git checkout 3a5bb38a83c00f7acab573f0ec836577143200aa

2) Modified file and committed the changes in the detached branch.
> git log
 commit 92aa5381b9f7229523dba42aa94735c30f173451

    Committing this in the Detached Head

3) For curiosity,
> git branch
* (no branch)
  New_Branch
  Second_New_Branch
  master

4) Changed to 'New_Branch' branch...  I no longer see the detached
branch...
 > git branch
* New_Branch
  Second_New_Branch
  master

5) Want to access the file with the changes I made in the Detached
branch, but don't know how...  PLEASE HELP?
