Interesting opportunity perhaps to locate Mr. Welch ?

 

[CoinHunterAZ]

Yes,

I'm hoping I can track him down and return it to him.

 

[G.I.B.]

If you would like some assistance tracking him down, please PM me.

G.I.B....PM sent. This coin had my heart pumping...My AT Pro was telling me I had a silver dollar. I have found several silver halves at this same park...so I was getting just a tad excited.

Would be a cool thing to return. Given to them when they graduated ??

I just found a blank one on ebay for $10.101st Airborne Division Aluminum Army Challenge Coin | eBay It says that it is aluminum, but the one I have is not. WAY too heavy.

Very unique find, good luck tracking Mr Welch! HH!

 

[Mackaydon]

It's modern (Iraq named) and is a Challenge Coin as pointed out above.
Good hunting on attempting to find this hero.

Good luck finding him, good recovery.

I think I am getting very close to locating Mr. Welch. I believe he may work at the Navajo Army Depot just west of Flagstaff.

Did you get my PM?

 

[CoinHunterAZ]

Yes, I did get it, thanks. G.I.B. and I are still trying to track him down. Not as easy as one might think, he didn't leave much to go on. the address in Bellemont is only a post office box, and we're not sure if it is even active. I will keep everyone posted on this.

I hope you find him I could try looking him up on my AKO

Dig until your arm falls off

Hey, try contacting his local American Legion he might be a member or at least someone may know him

Hello CoinHunterAZ. Nice find especially since it has the owner's name on it. Thanks for posting it, I dug a blank one like it for the 507th Parachute Infranty Regiment but did not know it is called a "Challenge Coin". HH C9
