Found this In My House!

[OxShoeDrew]

A few weeks after my son cleaned his room and found three indian head pennies in a dresser (I'm not kidding) my wife cleaned out another dresser given to us when my father-in-law passed away. This is what she found....

Dan, His great, great grandfather. We already had his discharge paper hanging on the wall. Now we found his hat pin. We have some pics of the guy too. He is wearing an officer's hat in one pic but it doesn't have that pin on it.

That realy is great history. It would be nice to see the picture of him. Great find even if it wasn't with the detector.
