" unfinished returned airman's sweetheart pin (WW 2) AND MORE

Hi all,After work wednesday i went to a Aussie rules football ground.The oval is more than 100 years old and was used for many different events over the years.The ground was used for a large fair to the returned servicemen of the allied forces of WW2. These included Canadan,New zealand,british, american and the aussies.

Found wasd a unfinished sweetheart pin- Airforce badge sent into a piece of Perspex from a WW2 aircraft of some type.Unfinished could tell a story in its self.

Found a aussie forlin 1946 but i,m not sure of the silver content of this coin.

A couple of Poppy day pins. New zealand i think 1946


thanks for looking tinpan

Pretty neat finds. Just the story behind that pin makes it better than finding gold.

Fantastic finds, Tinny! Here's the answer to the Tribute to Poppy Day...has some older PD pins. http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-tributes/poppy.htm

I'm all familiar with PD due to my affiliation with the American Legion.
