This is my first post of the yr. Been out several times with some success. I found a gold ring last week as well. I took my gold rings from last year and sold them yesterday. I got almost enough to pay for my new garage doors. The US medallion in the pic I found today with most of the stuff in the pics. Thought it may be from the civil war ; but not so sure now. It has a bar from the U to the S connecting the two. The back side has a place to wear the pin. The one token is from the opening of the Pennsylvania Super Highway in 1946. Ive seen a few of these on ebay .

The large medallion has reference to a good place to get doors and millwork done here in Cincinnati. Wish I could have found the rest. The bracelet says Carilisa? Another fake gold bar.The rings with the exception of the gold ones sold yesterday ; are my finds for the yr. The coin next to the US meddallion has the date of 1868 on it. It looked like a seated qtr at first; but isnt silver ; and has a woman's bust on the reverse instead of an eagle. Not sure where its from. Any help on identifying the coin; US medallion; and large token from door store would be greatly appreciated.

These were all found at local schools and parks in the Cincinnati area. Thanks for looking.

Hello the U.S. symbol is a collar insignia worn on the Army Class A Uniform for enlisted service men and women. The U.S one is worn on the left side collar and then they wear their Units Insgina on the right side. Pictured is the U.S Army Corp Of Engineers and each unit has different insignias. They haven't changed the design of them since I believe World War 2 but don't quote me. Good Luck And Happy Hunting!!!
