CW finds and a Geo H Thomas Badge?

[CHAPP12]

Well got out late this afternoon for a little hunting with my dad. I have been using my newly purchased T2 trying to get to know it. I have to admit I have went back to the truck more than once to get the ATPro. But today I gave it a real shot and made myself stick to it. I have about 40hrs on the T2 and I am pleased so for with my purchase. Found some decent stuff today and am excited about the badge. The top of the badge has the wording "Camp Geo H Thomas" and the only thing I can make out on the bottom is the word "park" and it looks as if there is a date under it. If anyone can shed some light on this item it would be greatly appreciated? Thanks and happy hunting.View attachment 1164783View attachment 1164781

Interesting. Not a relic guy, but I have to assume that its not every day on a CW hunt that you find Spanish-American War relics. This was apparently a short lived name for the Chickamaugua and Chattanooga Military Park. According to the one link below, there are three different varieties of this medal. Cool find!

I like the medal, I found a similar fire fighter medal earlier this year. September 1902

Thanks David and Coinman. Sorry I didn't post sooner but have been busy. David thanks for the pic. It looks like the one in the bottom of the frame is mine. I appreciate that. Coinman love your firefighter medal. I know you might think I'm crazy but I love finding those unique things like that almost more than finding coins, almost. Happy hunting fellows.
