It was another perfect day in the high 70's and very breezy. I spent an hour poking around the historical museum grounds and just found lead flashing and other scrap metal. So I went back to the the flea market for a few hours this afternoon. I keep going over the same areas and finding more cool things. Today I got $1.20 in change and a 1996 Canadian penny. And another square piece of lead - I find these often and this one is actually thin lead folded in half. Maybe the sellers use these as weights?
I like this little brass(?) bear pin:
And a military button front (the back is missing):
The best find is the sterling anniversary(?) pendant with the initials: "D.E.G." engraved on one side and: "June 22-'57" on the other. Stamped WINARD STERLING.

A Facebook friend told me that: " The bear pin is a rank badge for the Webelos, which is the phase between cub scouts and Boy Scouts."
