I had a spectacular day metal detecting! Found two seated dimes 1886 &1887s in one hole, then i was starting to have an allergy attack, so on my way back to the truck i found a nice barber dime. I didnt want to quit treasure hunting, but the grass was pollenating and killing me! So i went to this old dump site and decided to do some sifting....and hit coins, tokens, a sterling fork, a kewl silver badge and more silver coins, my eyes wanted to swell shut, but i was too hot to quit!!! LOL! The suffering was worth it haha!!! Oh yeah.....i almost forgot, i tried to do some research on the silver badge, couldnt find much except the company that made it (on the back) used to make high quality swords for the civil war, then went on afterwards to make cerimonial swords for groups like the freemasons and such, never could find anything else on it, im gonna post it in the whatsit? section to see if anyone else knows much about it. Thanks for looking!

I'm kinda surprised no one has identified the wings yet..lol.. These are army air force aerial gunner qualification wings. http://www.ww2wings.com/wings/usaaf/usaafgunner.shtml These had a pinback on them at one time. I have seem some that were drilled like that and put on a item like trench art for an after service memory. they might have been on a pouch or bag that some kid lost at one time playing army with his dad's army stuff. Good find
