Steelheadwill, This appears to be a US Navy garrison cap device, unknown if officer or enlisted. I am sure a militaria expert will advise shortly. Cool find, congrats, Sub

It looks like a Navy CPO hate badge.

It's a WWII US Navy officers hat badge.

Thanks all Esp BosunMate My first silver military issue find, I thought that symbol was USN, I am thrilled.
It's 5:11 am here, headed out now to catch a -1.2 tide at 7:30, outside temp a balmy 28F, Found this item on a recent PM low tide at -10 with wind chill, all about preparation, and of course how bad you have that monkey on your back. HH everyone !!!

Frozen ground...TO MUCH SNOW,but....spring is in the air.I would say with spring runoff river walking will be NICE.I keep hitting the same spots,schools..parks....still pulling up good stuff.I'm going to try door knocking along main street here,so many places I would really like to swing! I just have this thing when I ask and get NO.

I posted the silver Eagle on left years ago and we never got it greenchecked (Post lost during website update around 2011)
] Now I see that is identical to the eagle on USN Officers pin, their construction seems quite fragile.
Congrats and thanks to everyone who helps put a name on these difficult puzzles !!
