Hello all, not a bad day other than it was hot as... The button is a horstmann Phila and the relief is near perfect with a easily visible E Pluribus Unum. The silver is what it is, not old, but old enough. I did not whack the Junior Gman badge but I did try to flatten it as best I could, and the last piece I found right on the ground. Not sure what it is but maybe it want on a military cap? A definitive answer as to what era and use would be great though. My two buddies all found silver as well so life is good....today.

The button looks to have black paint on it which would be ww1 era as I recall.... The other piece is a cap badge, if it's brass color it's army, silvered ones are air force
