Don't know if it's a good one but here it is. (UP-DATED PIC ADDED)

I had to go out in my 1920's yard again. I hunted in all metal with the sensitivity one notch from max and I found a couple of goodies I had just walked right over. Anybody got any ideas what this is?...The wheat is a 1940-plain.

This might be a lead...

13th Tennessee Cavalry, U.S. Army 1863- 1865

Company B - 112 men was raised in Carter County, Tennessee.

Good luck, I was not able to find their insignia but will look some more.

$:-\$ ,This may explain the "CC" as Combat Command,then again you will have to find a reference to this in the first World war which is when yours dates from I believe.Your insignia does not date to the second World War .Unless that is a Springfield Model 1795 musket,your insignia dates to before 1924,because at that time the Springfield Model 1795 Musket was the standard branch insignia adopted by the U.S.Army and is still used to this day.See my reply (#5) in this post above.Notice the difference of the rifles/muskets.

Re: Don't know if it's a good one but here it is.

I Have Been Looking At This Insignia For Two Days Now, And I Think That It Is A Hat Badge For An Infantry Soldier Assigned To The Coastal Comand At One Of The Many Coastal Defensive Forts That Protected The U.S. Shore Line. It Is Most Likely From The Time Of The Span Am War Or Shortly After. I Have Visited Fort Moultrie On Sullivan's Island Here In Charleston, Many Times And Although The Forts Were Primarily Coast Artillery Installations They Also Had Infantry Soldiers To Patrol The Beaches As Coast Watchers. These Forts Were Deactivated Shortly After WW 2. Just My Two Cents. trk5capt...

Thanks for all of the trouble you all have went through for me. I took a better close up so you can see what the rifels look like.

You may be right.Here is a photo I took at one of those forts last summer in N.georgia,near Savannah.I can't blow up the photo with any clear detail,but maybe someone else can.Check out the guys in the front,right and left.

Man, You aren't kidding! It's been weeks since I've gone and everytime I think I'm going to get out it either gets too durn cold or I get sick. I was going to go for a while today but hubby and I spent the day working on the computers at the clinic. I'll be glad when it stays light a little longer, maybe then I can do a little digging. If it wasn't for TreasureNet I'd go crazy!
Miss you!
