Hit my favorite lunch spot today for maybe the 25th time for 45 min. First half of the hunt was typical clad and a couple wheats, then decided to hit a spot that I had been avoiding as it looked to have been a fill area for the nearby new highway. The high grass is down now as we had our first frost.
First signal was a penny / dime signal. I had never held a half dime before, but knew what I had from the many tnet posts on them. Went in my special pouch made by my grade school daughter.
Next target was a strong silver quarter signal, dug the plug. Still deeper, dug another 3 inches, still deeper. Swept the hole again and thought must be a deep beer can, but just pulled a half dime so 3" deeper in the hard packed dirt. Saw the point on the back and thought, nice a large dandy button and put in my pocket. Had to run to the car as my lunch hour was up. When I pulled it out of my pocket I saw this. OK, not a dandy button. This looks like some kind of military badge. Scraped the dirt mostly off with a toothbrush and toothpick. Can anyone ID this?
Good luck out there!
