Sterling Silver Essayons Pin and a WWII Expert Badge.

[Corinth1812]

I dug these up a couple of days ago on opposite ends of town. The Essayons pin is from the Army Corps of Engineers. It was found in an area of town that was built by the Army Corps of Engineers back in the 1940's as housing for workers of an Amunition Factory. The Expert Badge was found in an older part of town and is Sterling Silver as well. It went off as a silver dollar but bounced back and forth to a dime. Was kind of shocked when this thing came out of the ground. It has "rifle" Machine Gun" and "Carbine" for tags. A well trained soilder indeed. Pretty cool huh....
