Medal is home now, The son and the family were really grateful to get it back.
I asked what he could do, money or what ever.
I told him the only thing he owed me was......
"If someone ever says people that metal detect are stupid, of crazy or something,
That he would set them straight."
He sent me a good link on that type of medal if any one is interested.
Looks like they are older that I thought.
Got an E-mail today from the son. He had it put into a plaque along with another New medal a friend gave me, and a pic of his father when he was young. The only thing the person that did the plaque put his fathers medal in wrong. They both have the eagle showing. The fathers medal shown have the side with his name on it showing DUH!! He's taking it back first thing Monday to have it fixed.
On the back there is a Goggle earth pic of the location where I found it, and a pic of what the site looked like when i found it. He also put my name on it too.. Pretty cool I thought
