PPC, Nice score on the Silvers man,looks like Bo is tired of diggin! God Bless Chris
 
Nice collection and keepers you have there! Multiple silvers on the same day is a great day! That marksman bar might be sterling silver. If it's sterling it will be from the Korean War or the WWII era. Starting in the early 1960's the marksman / badges bars were being made out of pot metal. (typical of our Gov.)....... :( ......... Anyway, nice finds!
 
Thanks for the replies ! World, Bo was done for the day ! Coolhand,the marksman badge is silver,and was found in an area that saw alot of activity during WWII and in the 50s,I was told that the large eagle button dates to WWII also. Keep swingin !
 
A good day of digging for sure. Like Bo as well.
