Unexpected Logging Road Find

[Benyo4559]

I decided to detect an old logging road that has never had any houses on or near it. I was just curious what I would find on along the trail that wasn't a shotgun stamp or a brass casing Wasn't disappointed! From what I was able to research, it is a WWII German WHW Contribution Stickpin. Completely surprised! Maybe it was attached to someone's hunting vest? A hat? I'll never know, but super cool!

Unexpected for sure! These WHW pins were made in huge quantities but i bet very few made it over the water. And your's is in beautiful condition! Well done!

I bet it is a war souvenir from a returning GI. Interesting find!

Another good possibility.

Congrats !!! I found a nazi belt buckle in a Colorado mining camp once, I'm sure it was a war souviner .

Did it have a swastika on it?

Yours is a WW2 German wound badge. I found one in a lake in the middle of Michigan.





I do not know what the original posters represents. Nice piece of history

Awesome find. Maybe some German vet tossed it in there?
