Great hunt, Nanners. That medal is neat.

Now do a grid of the yard. Mark off an area like 15' X 15' and then hunt it one direction and go over it again in the opposite direction. You'll be amazed at what you'll get.

Keep it up, you're doing great!

Nana, here's a page with some info on the Driver & Mechanic badge:

Check around that yard again... maybe you can find some of the Q-bars for the badge, too!

Willie D got it right, your badge is a military drivers award. They were awarded for so many accident free miles driven, I received one in the military. The small ringlets at the bottom would have held a smaller plate attached to the driver award for more accident free miles driven, something like 50,000 miles would have been the next award, then 100,000 etc. HH and your finds are getting better, Mike

Some neat finds. I wonder what it would take to restore that car?

Also, just noticed your dog winking at me - very cool 8)

Very nice Nana. I have one of those badges you found. They look like they have some type of gray on the front of it. It should be sterling. Mine was marked and was also missing the bar that would have said what the badge was. Your doing alot better.

Keep up the good work
