    A Sterling insignia

    The old school is still doing it ! I found this Merchant Marine insignia along with ten assorted coins of which two were wheats . This time I was using the Nox with the 6" coil and the default setting .

    Thanks WD ! This was found not far from where I found that Marines Sharpshooters Badge near the schools flagpole . Perhaps during the war years military people came by to lead the pledge to the flag for the students ?
