WWI/WW2 Hat Pin found a while back

[DigDugNY]

meant to post this a while back after finding out what it was. Its a hat pin from either WWI or WWII, my guess is WWI. This was found in my Dad's backyard where an old foundation is. I've had plenty of other cool finds in this area and this one was the latest before it started getting too cold.

Yep, would agree, WWII hat pin. I found a similar one this past weekend. Kinda looked like yours coming out of the ground but cleaned but well in hot hydrogen peroxide.

Can you explain the method you used to clean yours?

I just heated up a glass jar of hydrogen peroxide for a minute or so and let it soak a bit.

I'm wondering if mine would clean up like that though. Not sure if it's made from the same metal
