What I think is 2nd Lieutenant rank insignia (WWI). Looks like a pin/latch setup, but looks like he may have sewn it to his uniform. It was gold colored or plated at one time. Can anyone confirm the ID?

A collar disk "nut"...the wing-nut type item may be for another type of insignia (both are threaded)...

After bashing trees for quite a while, I was pretty beat so I decided to hit Picnic Loop (which has been pounded mercilessly). I discriminated everything up to dimes and started swinging. Screwcaps come up right below dimes and I didn't want to deal with them. First 5 minutes produced a 59' rosie at about an inch. A short while later I got another dime signal and brushed the leaves away with my foot. The signal moved with the leaves so I thought it was modern, but it was a 64' rosie on the surface...nice and clean...

A nice little religious pendant...I almost didn't dig it because it rang up in the zincoln range, but the DC Phase was low for a zincoln, so I dug...

TBGO,
nice group of finds.

2nd Lt/Ensign bar would be pre 1960
with that pin/latch setup; 60's they were using
posts. So I would place it sometimes from the
start of time up to the 60's ::)

Thanks for posting.

have a good un............

Thanks SHERMANVILLE. Since it was a WWI army training camp in 1917, I am assuming it is for an army 2nd Lt. from that time.

That Etrac is one hum-dinger of a machine. Looks like your doing well with it. I sure have dug alot of silver with mine.
Congrats on the great finds.
