Police Badge

[Woodland Detectors]

I must say when this overtuned in the plug my eyes lit right up. After cleaning it I realized it was a Black Mountain patrolmans badge. When I took it to the station the captain informed me that it was an old badge and could not believe how new it looked. It was was found on an old lot that has since grown over. The captain said that they will put it with the other memorabilia for display.

beautiful police badge! How old is it? Looks modern to me, but I could be wrong.

Amazing...no matter how long it was in the ground, to be in such good shape the plating must be very heavy on it.
Did he say how long ago it's from?

That is just cool as heck man!
Now I will have to put a police badge on my list of things to find.
Congrats it is really cool!

Nice badge. They should be able to put it to an officer if it was the badge originally issued. How far down did you have to dig on that one? I've been doing some research on old early 1900's jails in the area, and hope to find an older badge or other police relics. Great find.

It was only about 3 inches deep and rang like a buckle. The Captain at the department said that he would try to find the owner but in the meantime he will display it there.

wow I'd hate to give that up. Too bad you could not keep it for your own display case

You should have told them they could have it if they remembered your good deed when they pull you over some time. lol Really, nice find

Very nice find! Nice of you to contact them and let them display it! I know at my PD our hat badges aren't marked with our number or anything, only our shirt badges.

Anyway, GREAT find! Congrats!

The badge looks brand new. You did the right thing by giving it to the police for their display. Nice job.

 

[lastleg]

Yeah, that was a nice thing to do. Now you can take your
family and friends down to the PD to look at it. Save a framed
picture for yourself.

He probably meant older, as in not the one they use today, but maybe from 10-20 years ago or so. Nice badge regardless.
