Lovely finds Mike,

Now for the badge , its WW2 United States Army Air Force aerial gunners badge.

They are quite collectable , and are normally Sterling silver, there are quite a few designs, with subtle differences.

If you could get a clearer photo of the whole badge , i could ID it better. or take your pick from this lot.

It is most probably from a downed aircraft, and has eventually washed up ashore after all these years ,,, lovely rare find
