WW2 hunt produces silver relics :)

[Dan(NM)]

I had another great day hunting for WW2 relics today. I went back to where I had done pretty good last week and wasn't disappointed. I didn't find any silver coins today, just 3 wheats, but, I did manage to unearth some rather cool finds. The large round item with the eagle on it is sterling silver along with the medallion and the 1st lieutenant bar. Also found the usual eagle and collar buttons along with some other relics. I haven't had a chance to see if I can track down the family yet, I'll start looking later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

The good luck coin in middle row, far left MIGHT have someones service serial number on it. I can't read much of it. They used to be made in a coin operated machine that punched the letters into the slug kind of like the lable makers from the 60's/70's. Some would have name or service number. Some had "naughty" things printed. I found one in a rundown farm house and got it back to the owner 20 yrs after I found it and 40 after he lost it. He had no idea how it got there.
Do you think the medallion from Firestone was something they gave to an employee who went int the service? Good luck.
