I found this old copper tag while metal detecting. Came from an area with coins that were from the forties and fifties. Not that it couldn't have been lost prior or after that time, but I think it should be a good representative of when it was lost.

There is a town named after his family. That is where I found the tag. Going back there today to visit the township hall and see if I can get any information on the family and return the tag to them.

That's really cool and the fun of detecting. You never know what you'll find.

I was in an area that was constructed by WPA workers during the Roosevelt years. I found a brass dog tag dated 1942 there.
