          Does the soldier have any surviving family members? That could be a special gift, if they care about their history. I'm not saying you don't have a right to keep it. 😊

            I've been searching for family. it seams to be a dead end. still looking though it's a special peice and would like to return to the family.

ID:	691647 Looks like your medal is missing the ribbon loop and a hole was drilled to hang as a pendant. Amazing piece of history. Here’s a pic I found of a complete example

                    Absolutely stunning piece of Native American history.
                    By the way, was this an eyeball find or a metal detecting find?

                    In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?

                      metal detecting. we found some pretty cool stuff back in the 70's and 80's. the medal was found at the old fort site. which is now a old school. that has been turned in to a museum.
