Last few hunts and neatest find of the year

Still been a grind but have started hitting some new locales although already heavily hunted. Lots of nickels which is OK but one area I hunted is really hard on Buffalos even after cleaning. The best find this year turned out to be a small lapel pin that says (exempt U.S.). After a little research it turns out to be a WW1 pin worn by guys who were exempt from service. I assume this being the 1st Big war since our Civil War, there probably was a stigma attached to anyone not serving. I don't find a lot of military stuff so this was pretty cool. Thx Wisconsin Digger
PS added a photo of my other "peaceful" place.

Very nice. I like your peaceful place too. Everyone needs one of those.

That exempt badge is an amazing find! I've never seen one before or even heard of such a thing. What a great peice of history.

:congrats:

Thats a nice bunch of finds, so many nickles!
I agree with Tony, that exempt badge is Awesome!
