1881 Military Pin, Coins

[OxShoeDrew]

I had an eventful three hour hunt yesterday.
1887 and 1902 Indians
1954 Wheat
1954 Quarter (only third silver Washington I've ever found)
Nice buttons
1881 military Medal. The roman numeral says 1881 but the patent date is June 27 1882
Thanks, Drew

Did you hit the same field as Saturday? Now you got the buckle. The medal looks like it was a pendant. I wonder if it fell off a pin like the multi-colored service pins.

The bottom that is a little small to read in the pic, Drew said it was the date in roman numerals. The top says "Gratia Dei Servatus". The ones I found online were all 1888.
