On the way to the farm field and once I got there.
I walk thru the park to get to the field swinging my coil as I go..screeching high tone,I could tell it
was a long target,21 dimes stacked laying flat,to bad they weren't silver.
Did the field(again)and ended up with a 1893 IH plus a cool pin,I believe it's Naval with the Anchors,
Gold and Silver gilt.
Well..tomorrow I'm hitting the park across the river EARLY,there's got to be more Gold there..8 since 12/5/14.
GOD Bless

The wicked are not stupid; they simply abuse their God-given talents ambitiously and ruthlessly manipulate or eliminate anyone who stands in their way. They ascend to power with the game of “hurt and rescue” – first causing the chaos, and then fixing it with wrong answers.
When they ascend to positions of authority in society, they rob the innocent of their mental health and freedoms, then sanitize and legitimize the perverted and the wicked. A proliferation of dangerous advice confounds the good and gives license to the decadent.

I figured it was rank related,here's a pic after a light spray of lacquer.

WT,
Thanks for the follow up pics with after the shot of lacquer. I say pre 1941 because the eagle is facing left (to the wearer's left). The eagle facing left was derived from the Napoleonic eagle and it was normally depicted facing left, why left is apparently unknown. However, by 1941 the Navy changed the regs to confirm with heraldic rules which has the eagle facing right (toward the wearer's sword arm). This rule change continues to be in effect today. Do you mind checking for a maker's mark on the reverse side (the mark could be in several places but check the bottom part of the anchors or in the middle of the shield. May be worn away but I think there may be something in there.

I agree with you, it is very likely pre-WW II. Does it happen to have a small stamp on the back of either an M of 2H's?

I don't see any marks.
