Hi all from the UK, I'm a long time Detectorist from Reading, Berkshire, in England.
Looks like I have a lot of reading to do on this site, and some names I reconise from other forums.
Lets see if I can upload a Photo of two local park finds to get things started.

Welcome to TNet, fienj! Looks like you may know more about what you are finding than I do. I recognized the NYC subway token, but don't know anything about the pin I'm afraid.

I'm certain someone else will recognize it though.

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
What is the wording on the back of the Paratrooper's pin near the base?

HI Don, it's there but unreadable because of pitting, it was found in a park called Sol- jol used by your boys just before D Day.

My guess is the wording may be either 'Antaya GI' and 'Silver filled' OR 'Antaya GI' and 'Sterling'. Either way it's a great find and a great token of remembrance for those who wore the same pin.
