Found silver in my yard! Not a coin
This morning while me and my wife were siting in our yard enjoying the nice weather finally here in the PNW. My wife reached down and said what's that? Just barely sticking up out of the ground was this. A WW2 Naval Aircrew pin with three combat stars. Made by AMICO and stamped sterling. Not like my Navy aircrew wings from the 80's. Really cool have no idea how long it has been in the yard, we have lived here for 10 years.

Yea pretty cool, there is a Naval Air base that has been around since before WW2 on the island I live on so who knows, I think they flew sea planes like the PBY's and other naval aircraft. But who knows.
