This is the sterling badge thing my buddy dug at our new permission, it look hand done and rang up a 97 on the Deus l. I’m kinda jealous, not gonna lie😂

This is one amazing find! I'm voting a banner recovery

Unfortunately, I did not find it. If I had my 1911 on me and a bigger shovel it would have been😜

That is a super cool find Joe. Nice photo of your buddy's find.

The engraving reminds me of the details you'd see on a Love Token done on a Seated Liberty coin from the late 1800's
