Wow! Almost had my Deputy's Badge

So, for a while I've been dreaming of one day finding an old US Marshals, Deputy or Rangers badge. Well, today I about fell on my ass thinking today would be the day. I had dug up a wheaty, two pendants, a dog tag, a pony, an old lighter, a 1944 Merc and a copper plate with the Lord's Prayer. I don't know about you but I thank my Heavenly Father each time I find something regardless of what it is. I also have a ritual, I say the Lords Prayer right before I call it a day, which was amazing to find the little plate with the Lords Prayer, but I didn't know it until I an hr later when I arrived home cleaned it...

Well, my last keeper was about 5-6" deep in compressed dirt and caliche which made it almost impossible to dig even with my trusty Predator tool. As I was about to give up, out pops out what looks like a badge. Wow! This one looks almost like a US Marshals badge. I can see what appears to be a Start in the center. I know Gods watching because this is the second badge in less then a week that I dig up. I guess it something about staying positive and knowing what you want to discover. I've always said, I have a strong feeling on a certain item and somehow I manage to find it. God is Good!

Enjoy the pics... Almost forgot, as I was tough by car91rs, never turn of your machine while walking back to the car. Funny thing, I kept finding buckles on the way back, lol.

Enjoy the pics!

One of these days you will find a Sheriff's badge, luck is certainly on your side. Still, A school safety patrol badge is kind of cool, I would be happy finding it. I think that you found more badges than any other Tnet member.

Yeah I know, never stopped detecting and have tons of great finds to post but had to step back a bit on this site due to my daughter having some major medical issues and alot of my time has been focused on that. Hopefully I can get caught up and start posting soon. Thanks for asking.

At least you have somewhere to dig over there in El Paso. I'm in Lubbock, and my detector has been gathering dust in the closet for 5 years. One of these days, I'm going to find a site I can work over. Nice badge collection, by the way!
