Thanks for the replies. JimCVA, you were right on. I checked the Waterbury Button Company website and found it to be called a "Great Seal of the US (Defense Guard)". Looks like they still use it today. I don't know how old this one is, but a friend said probably 2nd World War. Cool find right in the city on a grassy median.

Can you hunt the grassy strips that separate traffic on the roads just North of downtown?

 

[SkipSC]

Thank you shooter. We had it narrowed down to WW1 or WW2.

GR, Yes, as I have found to be the case with most communities, you can hunt any public property such as grassy medians, parks, etc. But always check if in unfamiliar territory.
