Hat pin?

[Woodland Detectors]

At first I was certain I had dug a hat pin, but I couldn't see any attachments (or remnants of) on the back.

Anyone? Composition is copper

Here is the photo of the back of a ladies hat pin........

Very close....Maybe it was just ornate on a piece of furniture

Perhaps a stick pin for tie, or a lapel pin.

I think that's what you have Mike...

Here's one I dug a few years ago. It's a little different from yours. I think yours had a different type of attachment and yours may be a little earlier than this one. Hopefully someone will nail down the ID for you.

Nice Tony. They sure are close.

It appears to be a Great Seal with the 13 star constellation missing or broken off. http://www.greatseal.com/symbols/index.html

I dont know what it is, Mike, but I have also have a version. Mine has a threaded stud and a slight curvature.


I believe mine is an officers hat stud and would look like this complete. Its about the size of a silver dollar.

Hey BCH....

Your post reminded me of a screw back type I found several years ago. I found it in a hole with a Barber Quarter. It's similar but still not a match for Mike's find.

Yours is missing the 13 star constellation too. I guess thats a common break area.

it's very likely part of a WAC officer's hat badge (small size):
