A funny little story about our hunt today, it was about 92 degrees, no wind and blazing hot, Ron got sick about four hours in the hunt and starting puking his guts out. He decided to take a break and sit down by this big tree but being addicted to trying to find some silver I told him to take it easy and I'd go on down the trail and scout out where we could hunt when he got to feeling better. In about 45 minutes we got back to hunting, some people would call that crazy.

Great find WV62! Those are pilot's wings. Is there a back mark? Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!

WV62--
Here is a website that is devoted to Wings. I've dug a few wings in my day: WW2 Navy Aviator, WW2 Gunner, WW2 Air Crew and WW2 Bombardier. Wings are my favorite finds! Here is the site. The Balfour wings are very near the bottom of the page.

Those silver wings remind me of a song back in the day, it went something like ( put silver wings on my son's chest make him one of America's best). Somebody help me, I'm not good at singing.

Don't know if any Green Berets were pilots but I know one that I thought could chew nails. My brother.
These are pilot wings not Green Beret
Off topic but last two verses of the song are
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret

Very neat find. I found a pair of paratroopers wings down at Fort Benning but they were not silver.
