[Lawrence in Alabama]

Last Saturday (3-11-06)I went detecting with James, Craig and Buddy. I had a pretty good day. I found 4 silver coins (the most in one day for me) and a dozen wheaties and what Buddy told me was a Unit Crest Pin. I had a great time

Here are all of my goodies in one shot

Here is the front side of the Unit Crest. I have not been able to find out which unit it is from. The motto/logo at the bottom reads "Paroneri"

Well, thanks for looking. If anyone recognizes the unit the Unit Crest is from, I would appreciate the info!!
