Got out to a nearby school I’ve hunted many times before. I found a wheat and a couple military items I can’t believe no one got their coils over all these years.

First was the World War ll Victory Medal and I’m still trying to ID the second military item that seems to be a badge. Anyone has an idea of what it is please speak up.

I was suppose to be in VA today with JD and Vic hunting an 1800s farm. It’s killing me waiting on their report. They teased me with the pic of a silver rim in the bottom of a plug and an 1860s Injun. We had severe storms in my area at 430am when I was suppose to start driving to meet them.

Thanks OD. My first thought was something Nazi. Probably a war trophy for a WWll vet.

Nice jwp! I can't help with the ID but I agree, looks like some type of badge.. Maybe a hat badge.


Thanks Rattle. I have found many medals over the years. My favorite is a Berlin Airlift aircrew Medal.

Wow! Those are some great finds. Awesome for a site that has been hunted many times.



Thanks KR. I hope I can find out more about that eagle badge. I definitely think it is Nazi badge of some kind.

If it is German, he would know


Thanks Beach Bum!

Awesome finds, congrats. Would love to find either of those.


Thanks Rat. Keep swinging and it’ll happen.

Congrats on the finds. I found one of those war medals a couple years ago. Not sure on the other piece but hopefully someone will know.


Thanks Jam. Love researching this stuff. Posted a pic after better cleaning.

Very cool finds!


Thanks Wyo!
