CELLAR HOLE& 1920'S HOME*DISTIGUISHED FLYING CROSS MEDAL FOUND

2 days ago went for a short cellar hole hunt.a iron buckle,a small D type buckle and a large squared nail or spike.
i was studying the iron buckle and it sure makes ya think how much time was put into making one of these.i used to dismiss them as junk but now i can appreciate some colonial blacksmith banging and forming this with tongs and a hammer on a anvil.just look at the V type groove where the buckle pin is supposed to lay in and they had to hammer the buckle pin around the buckle to make it swivel.just a thought to ponder sometime
the way stuff is made today we forget what real craftmanship was like back in the day

fast forward>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

so today i went back to a home that gave up a few mercs in the past and slowed down and took my time.i was suprised at all the coins still in the yard.
a 1943-P silver war nickel,a 1919 buffalo nickel,a TK token good for 5 cents.(gotta ask my dad about this token as he rememers all these local tokens as a kid) a load of wheaties in the bottom part of total finds pic and a neat WW II bronze distinguished flying cross award medal.these medals were given to pilots for bravery during battle.
the rest was clad.

Were US medals stamped with the recipients name like UK medals? If so, Is there a name on it? nice collection of finds by the way.

My dad was awarded one of those in Viet Nam. His has his name inscribed on the back. Check to see if anything is there.

Yup, I'm looking at a Bronze Star right now and the name is on the back. It would be cool to find a name and perhaps return it to the family. Not many WWII vets left... This one was from my Father-in-Law who served in Greece with an Operational Group of the OSS (forerunner of the Army Special Forces and the CIA)

Correction: Your Dad EARNED one of those in Viet Nam! God bless him, Mike, and every other fighting man/woman for defending all of our freedoms. You must be very proud of him.
