First 3 ringer ever! Plus unknown button......

misplacedrednek · Aug 22, 2011

Hello all. Got out for 3 hours or so this evening to a mid-1800's church after getting permission from the pastor. Didn't dig many deep targets due to the ground being one element shy of concrete. Managed to pull out my first 3 ringer and some assorted iron junk as well as a little clad near the surface. I did find a button I'm not sure about, I believe it's fairly modern since it was barely under the grass and still in great condition but I've been wrong before. Any help on the button ID would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Matt

P.S. There is no backmark on the button.

nice pin and bullet :icon_thumright:

the pin is the seal of the USAF, which means it is from 1947- present

Thanks for the button ID......I'm Air Force and probably shoulda known that. I always get permission wherever I dig, makes things alot easier in case someone has a problem with it. I plan on going back later this week but my shoulder has to get back to normal, that is the hardest soil I have EVER tried digging in, I literally had to chip it away. I left 2 super deep items after digging over a foot down with no results. We'll see what happens.
