This may be a long shot...any ideas.

Anybody with a possible ID of what appears to be an Eagle w/arrows...between his tallons is a small shield. Nothing on back except sand particles and green patina.
It is encrusted...so detail may be difficult to see.
It is smaller than a dime, much smaller.
That is the closest I can get w/ camera...

Thanks,

Trez

Similar to U.S. Army "Great Seal" insignia. Given its small size, probably a sweetheart jewelry pin from WWI or WWII (example below), or perhaps an applied decoration from some larger sweetheart item (locket, compact, cigarette case, etc.).

That is what it is. I have a bag of sweetheart jewelry blanks that I obtained from the family of of the owner of an old ww-2 era jewelry store.
Every type of service insg. you can think of. They were made into pins and placed on lighters and lockets. Several different sizes and were made in silver color and gold color base metal usually. Even enameled and with rinestones.

The round item with the holes is a GI Combat Boot vent hole...Vietnam Era at least...supposed to keep your feet ventilated...but just let the water in and you got trench foot fungus...my Dad told his guys to seal the holes off.

Yes, as someone said, the top item appears to be from a jungle boot. The water is PUSHED OUT of these vents as you walk on dry land, and actually work quite well. I have used them for many years in the Everglades. In the 70's, military jungle boots were all a person could buy for the swamp. You do not have to constantly remove them to dump the water out every time you step in a mud hole, the nylon uppers dry quickly, and they can take a beating. A boot full of water would make a lot of noise. Most swamp hunters now wear almost knee high expensive waterproof boots, but I still prefer the old jungles.
