Yesterdays river park find

[lamarkeiko]

I found this pin yesterday with my equinox 800, 1-2 inches deep with a VID number or 21-22 using Park 1. The pin is 2 1/2" X 13/16" and appears to be brass.
I did a Google search this morning, and I believe it's called a Army Senior Aviator pin. I don't know if this was for a pilot or crew. If anyone can give more information I'd appreciate it.

That is super nice condition too! Are you anywhere near an AirForce base or Army post? Maybe check with a local ROTC group??

 

[lamarkeiko]

No where near any military base. The park is good size and gets visitors from all over. The area I found the pin gets a lot of homeless people who camp out at the park.

Cool find. I'm going to do the typical and blame some kid for taking it and losing it while playing.
