W.F.F.D. Electrician badge / 1800's buttons / Whats-it

I got out for another 90 minute hunt today to look for CW relics. I was able to recover two 1800's buttons within a few feet of each other in an area I call "relic hill".
The only other piece I dug out there in the woods was a small piece of copper. Looks like it was maybe a pin of sorts at one time?
I worked my way back up to the house to an area of the yard where I've been uncovering everything from CW relics, Tootsietoys and army men, silverware, old coins, 1800's padlocks, horseshoes, etc. The sandy soil was wet and I got a good signal. About 6" down I dug a WFFD Electricians badge. That spot never let's me down.

My finds:

*W.F.F.D. "Electrician" badge - Wake Forest Fire Dept.
Here is some history of the fire dept.:

*Early (?) 1800's flat coat button (21mm) - "London - Double Gilt" back mark

*Early (?) 1800's flower cuff button (12mm) - "Extra Colour" back mark

*Copper whats-it

Thanks for looking,
MM

Oh yeah, I had a TICK on me too. Almost the end of November and those filthy little buggers are STILL out!!!

That badge looks great! Love the sparks/thunderbolts clasping hand... Back then knowing one's profession was important I guess...

Thanks Herbie. I have about five other relic displays in the same museum. They love the donations, and I enjoy giving others the chance to see the history of the area.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Doug

I agree. Great looking design on this badge. I had never ever thought of an electrician working for the fire dept. before I dug that. Pretty cool.
