1932 - 1933 Post Cereal Detective Badge

[TriadHunter]

Found this about 6" deep while hunting a leveled home site with my 9yo son this evening. Did some research on the Internet and it appears to be 1 of 3 badges available.

A FleaBay ad states: "1.5" badge from a General Foods Post's Cereal 1932-1933 promotion advertised in Sunday newspaper comic sections and on their cereal boxes, offering young members manuals edited by Inspector General Post with the awarding of badges and manuals for ranks from Detective up to the level of Captain"

We are pretty excited about this find and we're looking forward to heading back to the site for more!

Excellent find Triad!

What target range did the machine pick that up in?

It's not always about coins!

We love seeing these kind of finds.

Thank you sir! I found it with my ACE 400 and it was bouncing between 60 - 80 if I recall correctly. I will pass it by the coil out of the ground to see what it hits and report back when I can. Thanks again.
