Can anyone ID this??

I was out md'ing at lunch and found this. I tried to look up WW1 medals, but couldn't find anything. It has a few bite marks on it , but it's still a cool find.
This is my first post, so far 3 Gold rings, 6 Silvers, $220.00 in Clad and 3 siver Rosies, 18 wheats. This is an obsession - only 4 months at it and addicted beyond control. Thanks. maddog

Now that's a cool find.

Did you find that medal in the woodchips or in the ground

I found it next to a pine tree on a vacant lot where a house once stood. The shape wasn't too bad-I did clean it up with some 00 steel wool.

What are the initials to the right of the US emblem under the eagle?

The reason I asked is if it come from the woodchips then most likely some kid took it from his dads things and might not be too happy when he finds out that grandpa's medal is missing.

I can't read the initials I enlarged it 400% still illegible.

According to Louis W. Small's Revised Comprehensive List of World War I Service Medals Issued by States, Counties, Cities & Towns, p. 10, the community of Pittsburg, California had a 1920 census population of 5,355, and the "Statistical Estimated Issued" number of these medals is 221. Incidentally, in Small's book this medal is cataloged as #CA4.
