well i had to go down to Mass. for a wake on sunday eve. and the funeral was this morning, so rather than driving back and forth i took the opportunity to go back to my old hometown and try some night hunting at my old schools and hangouts, the first one i went to was my jr. high ( i vaguely remembered the school burying a time capsule, i didn't find it 
), i found about 4.00 in clad the oldest were a 63 and a 64 nickel. and a 64 dime
but around center field i found an old copper eagle military insignia, it's holding an olive branch and arrows in each claw it has a flag type shield on the breast and it has a circle above the head with 12 small stars in it, at first i thought it would have been for the front of a cap but it is kind of small for that, as its not even an inch and a half tall.
does anybody have any links on these types of sheilds or insignia's that i could try to compare it to ? or does it sound familiar ? i'll try to get a picture of it up on here tommorow, i've got to get the camera back from my sister.
the rest of the night was just about a complete bust, as all of the other old schools, playgrounds, and fields have been recently been remodeled and well covered over, and the only swimming area in town must have been hunted well by others ( as i only found 1 lonely nickle , they didn't even leave me a bottlecap or pulltab to find
)
and then just around sun up, a faint sign of redemption, i found about a dozen old bottles and a decanter that were worth saving.
also i saved my 2 best undisturbed locations for my next trip back there, when i can hunt it in the daylight and give it the attention it deserve ( they may have revolutionary war relics there
).
