🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Military?

[fishstick]

This thing was twisted like a pretzel when found but my hunting buddy did a stellar job with it. Question is what would it been attached to and how? As well as a time frame if possible? Thx

Caduceus is a symbol with a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. The U.S. Army Medical Corps uses the symbol but it is a universal symbol of medicine.

I do know that much about it but was hoping to find out the rest like what it went to(uniform?) or something like that as well as a time frame for it. Thx for the info on it tho

I don't see it being military related.

I wish mine looked that good lol

 

[fishstick]

Mine has no attachment points at all. That's why I wonder how it was attached?

Found where one like OPs was found in Ohio, on another metal detecting site, which is weird as Ohio and Indiana are next door to each other.

Funny it links the brooch/pin I referenced also.

Picture of the Ohio found one from the Reddit site. They claim it's about the size of a quarter, which I highly doubt.

Looks the same but a lot smaller than mine

I highly doubt the size referenced on the other site is correct. To see what I mean take the quarter and place it on yours, then imagine how small all the items around the quarter would have to be to fit that space.

 

[fishstick]

Yeah I thgt a quarter was awful small but you never know lol.
