Log Cabin Site Finds

[7creeks]

Spent the morning with HighTone hunting an old log cabin. Trash and iron everywhere and huge area to hunt. Managed to get a clad dime, 2 cents and 1 wheatie. Relic finds are a nice big buckle, little button, and a gas light valve. Some copper and iron scrap. And one piece I need help identifying. It says NAVY backward with a star above it. Not sure why NAVY would be a mirrored.

I have saw old navy photos of hats with navy spelled like that. No idea why

Maybe the Navy thing is A pattern for Sandcasting molten metal?
