Sterling Aviator's pin and 1943 Merc dime

Hello!

I got out for a couple hours yesterday with my good buddy Ron. Lately I haven't been doing too much detecting locally but yesterday I needed to get a quick fix!

Ron and I headed downtown to areas we've pounded in the past but figured there's gotta be something else that we left to be found down there. Ron dug a couple silver treasures, and I dug a 1943 Merc dime and a sterling silver aviator's pin! I also dug 4 wheat cents and plenty of pocket change too.

Anyone have an idea on the age of this pin? It is marked STERLING by Cora (see close-up picture).

Thanks for looking!
Neil

after cleaning out my treasure pouch I discovered another treasure that I didn't realize I had dug yesterday! U.S. NAVAL RESERVE HONORABLE DISCHARGE button thinky!! I remember digging this yesterday but I only looked at the back side ~ I assumed it was just a piece of scrap copper or brass. I alway save the scrap pieces of copper and brass for Ron. After a few months of saving it up he turns it in and we takes me out for a burger and a beer!

I can say for sure, IF I find a set of sterling wings, they will most certainly not be entering my scrap sterling pile... love it

Great find. I was curious and found them on ebay from around $10 to $35, and in another location for $85.

I found mine one in a old coffee can, in a abandon house... which kind do I have?
