I dug this today at a park I’ve had lot of successful finds today I decided to try a spot that I have in the past found nothing! This was after a decent walk to first spot a different location got skunked there.
Today I had the Nokta Multi Kruzer and I dug a bunch of junk almost to the point of going back to switch machines out but this was the best and last find for the day.
What you’re looking at is a cool piece of history it’s a WWII is a US Army Air Force Bomber Bombardier Group. The pin is sterling silver pin 1939-1945

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Nice find! Everyone who participated in the airborne missions of WWII were part of a very special breed. By coincidence I recently acquired the diaries of a WWII airman, though I'm not sure of his position in the plane. Here are a few pages, maybe it will help give you a sense of what the man who wore your bombardier pin experienced day to day...

Excellent find. That has great history.
Yea it is neat to find coins that I love to. This piece can directly relate to a first hand person that was involved on a bomber crew from WWII is incredible piece of history. Thank you for looking
