One Target Hunt...But It's Silver!

Glad that it's silver! I was supposed to play tennis after work today but my opponent backed out due to the heat. Oh well...good excuse for a hunt. I decided to stay close to home and hit an area that I have hunted extensively and is more likely to turn up an arrowhead than old metal...but there is always hope. It's a huge area...about 40 acres and it has just been hayed so I figured I would kill an hour. As expected there were very few targets but I kept telling myself that this particular piece of land has been farmed for close to 500 years so there is always a chance of a stray.

The find is either an Order of the Garter or Grenadier Guards silver medal. I would guess WWI era. Maybe someone else can enlighten me as to what group it belongs to.

Research has led me to believe that it is a WWI era silver sweetheart pin! I am quite happy with that as it is the first that I have found.
