Hi dragnet,
The Fleet badge is indeed a known fake but not the classic "Cave Creek special" as defined by Mike Kenny here:

Having said that, jwburchell previously posted the same type as yours, acquired at a MAX show in 1999, which he rightly or wrongly attributed to the same source as the earlier Cave Creek specials, i.e. "Pieces of History" in Arizona.
The Minesweeper also is not a Cave Creek special. In fact, that one may actually be an original that has been heavily cleaned and polished, thus softening the detail and lightening the finish. I'd like to see better straight-on images as well as closeups of the hardware and margins if possible.
Here's a classic "Cave Creek Special" fake Minesweeper for comparison.
Best regards,
---Norm

Lowell Jackson continues to have tables in military shows like the SOS. I don't think it's known where the badges were actually manufactured -- both then and now -- irrespective of where he sold them.
