Little Star before and after

[tencents]

Before and after some cleaning and straightening of a star pin I found at an old homesite.

Those badges are so cool. Great find. Good job with the repair.

Were you able to simply bend them back into shape or did you have to heat them up to soften the metal?

I was able to bend them easily, very soft copper I believe as it oxidized quickly after these pictures.

Nice, interesting find, and the smaller-size also makes it a more unique find.

What detector, coil and settings were you using?

I was using the garrett apex standard coil in relic mode with sensitivity three notches from max and using 15 megahertz frequency.
