My SUNday

[vibes]

I've had one helluva week. So today I decided to treat myself and' hit it' before the elements got the best of me. Eventually I lost out to a blanket of snow.

Here's the set-up, I knew the ground would be frozen so didn't haul the MD and opted to do a walk-about in my "mound" area, ya know, where I found the stone arrow marker; it was gone, as I knew it would be, lost to suburban sprawl (huge sigh).

That's when I noticed a piece of glass...so started diggin : here are my finds:

(I recognize the knife, a funky lil rubber stamp/mold) BUT what is the other item, the emblem lookin' thing?

BUT what is the other item, the emblem lookin' thing?

U.S. Army enlisted man's cap device. Hard to estimate the date, but it might be from WWII.

Wow...wish I could have gone out and found something like you..My wife had me spend quality time with her parents...which is not that bad, still would have prefered to have done some detecting though.

Gotta Love the Eagle's Vibe's......Try some Electrolysis on it,you'll be suprised how much detail will come out on it.I found a Hat Pin over a year and a half ago caked with crud and looked like it was in a fire pit.Soft wire brush and a careful eye on the "charge" should be good.This one is still holding up.....Nice Find!!!
