    I recently dug an item that I found interesting, but have been unable to identitfy it. While hunting an old German POW cam here in the US, I dug numerous German ID tags, German tunic buttons, Kreigsmarine buttons and a Luftwaffe belt buckle. In the same place, I dug the item I am talking about. The link below will take you to a metal detecting forum where I posted pics and info. I originally thought it was brass, but now believe it to be copper and where I thought it said "RMEE" I can now read "ARMEE". If you could provide any info, it would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I think you had this posted elsewhere as I answered your q, but--I'll do so here too.

    I Dont know what the first items are--somekind of ID tags as I think Martin pointed out--the last item is a cypher for a Kriegsmarine Gunner as the "flying shell" is denoted by shell with wings. These cyphers go only on Kriegsmarine Shoulderboards. I have a nice set of KM boards with the exact same anchor design but has the lightning bolt for the KM Signals branch on a set of KM Senior NCOs shoulderboards.
