Congrats Dave,

That's great that you got that much for it and you will have the story forever. I would like to keep everything I find but bills out weigh sentiment every time.

That ID badge is about as cool as ya can get. It's always more exciting when you can find something that you can link to an individual. Have you researched who he was and gotten any info about him yet?
