Went for a quick hunt this morning. We started the hunt at 4:55am this morning, and were joined by poohbear, oroplata, and a guy from my work who is getting started in the hobby.

Had a good time, but the damn rain sure picked up.. Got rained out just before 8am.

Found a few silvers.. but I am curious as to if anyone knows what that eagle pin thing is? Show in photo.. is it military?

I had a look at one of my Air Force badges and it is identical in form with the eagle looking in the same direction. So it may be military

Is this a badge that a pilot calls his "wings" that are given on qualifying?
