Went curb strippin'/parkway diggin' with a couple of friends today. My big score was a bucklet-lister for me, a WW2 US Army Air Corps pilot's wings, marked sterling. An antique copper with celluloid (?) photo frame, some clad, and other odds and ends rounded out the day. Thanks for looking, get out and dig if you can! Cheers, Sub 8-)

I have dug a similar military pin - very exciting, and wouldn’t it be nice to know the story...?
