It rained yesterday so I knew the ground would be good today for depth signals. I went to my local school sports field that has been hunted to death, in fact I think it is on life support. But this time I decided to work the rough outer perimeter and parking lot areas more or less. Right off the bat, I was getting the usual clad coins. As I worked this semi water flooded dip in the ground, I got this rather large strong signal. At first I thought it was a piece of wire. Never-the-less, I decided to dig it anyway. About 4" down, I could see it was some type of jewelry or metal object. Upon further inspection, I could read the word sterling on the back side of this wing metal. I continued my hunting and found a good amount of coins for the day too.
When I got home I researched my wing metal and it turned out to being a: WWII Air Corp Aerial Gunner's Wing, marked Sterling on the back. It was a little twisted but could straighten it out somewhat. The USA Military metal weights: 12.25 grams and is 3" long.
For the day, I found: 31-quarters, 15-dimes, 4 nickels, 35-cents, WWII Metal, Game token and a Keith Urban heart metal.
I am proud to have found this WWII metal and even more so of the soldier who originally earned and worn it!
