yesterdays hunt finds a sterling war badge

[BillZ]

Yesterday my wife and I went to our usual woods where we find stuff mostly from the 40's.
Both of us managed several wheaties in the hunt. I had my heart set on finding a silver coin but it was not to be. I did, however find a couple of silver items. One turned out to be a sterling infantry medal from WWII. The other was a little sombrero and sandal that are clipped together like they were once part of a charm bracelet.

Also pictured is a play money nickel and a toy car that my wife found.

Great hunt BillZ. The CIB is a very nice keeper. :smitten:
Congrats on the wheats and goodies. Good luck on your next time out to the woods. Your hunch is most more than likely correct and there has got to be at least one silver coin waiting to be found. :yes:

Oh, We have found probably 75 silver coins, 700 wheaties, and at least a dozen WWII pins and badges in this particular woods. There should be a few more silvers in there. I just was hoping to find one on that hunt. It's not getting any easier as we clean out the goodies.
