USAF Pin

[Seabees]

Well after yesterday's down poor we had,I thought it would be a good ideal to hit some places that I have hit in the past. The 1st location was an abandoned field that had a house or a business at one time right next to the train tracks. Not much there but a few spikes and trash. The next location was only about 2 mins. Drive down the rd. but I thought it would produce a little better. This spot had an old house at on time. The only thing left is a concrete pad in an open field. I found a couple if wheats, Canadian cent, fake kids toy gun, fabergette perfume bottle and a USAF pin. Thanks for looking....

Seabees, That was a nice hunt, congrats. I would definitely hit that place again. Your "gem" of the day is the item you are calling "USAF pin." It is actually a genuine USAF Air Security Police badge, worn by base law enforcement officers. Probably post-Viet Nam era. Cheers! Sub

Yes, it's an Air Police badge, and if memory serves me right, it was used during the mid 1960's.

Thanks for the info. Do you think there is anyway i could look up the person this Badge belonged to with the ID numbers ?

Take it to the nearest US Air Force base and they will probably confiscate it. It is a controlled item. The serial number to the badge is "D2401". However sometimes the badge is awarded to retirees and deceased service members. Would be interesting to know the story behind it. Nice find.
