With the ground not as hard a cement:frozen: and both Steve and I (almost) over our bout with the Flu:sick::sick:, we decided it was time to get out for a hunt. Found this button at a colonial house we had hit previously last fall. Looks like military police insignia, although can't find exact button image after internet search. Not sure if it's WWI or WWII.

Nice find! Not sure what branch it depicts but single screw back equals WWI and double screw back equals WWII (or so I have been told).
