(UPDATE TOWARD BOTTOM OF PAGE)
So this follows the post about our Sunday Hunt that produced silver, a large cent and much more. I had mentioned Goingdown found this cool item -- he told me to go ahead and post. He found a buried wallet with roots all through it and when he opened the wallet to find out what was metal he found this...(see photo). Turns out I know the owner of the wallet but I didn't know him back then, so I had no idea it was lost in 2001. Needless to say it will be returned to him, not a single dollar was in it -- yes that's our story and sticking to it, but it's true...cool find of the day.

(To answer person below -- You can't tell his full name...it's only partial and signature is not readable...I thought about that.)

I think this is better, you probably should delete the original pic off of here for security reasons.

anyone that know how to use a computer can get the full name with the information you have showing... like I said be4 everything should be block out... there are people in this world that prey on people an you are givingthem a tool by posting this the way you did...

Sounds like you hit a nerve with creeper. He could have approached the subject a little more civil instead of coming off like a @#$&.
Good find and it's neat that you know the guy.

Now see thats just funny :)

I love that the faces on the badge have also been obscured - you can never be too carefull, especially with these privacy laws and all. Does anyone know any good privacy law sites or a course I can take because I'm definately in the "you people" category ::)

Sorry if I made anyone mad but this does get under my skin this isn't the first time I have seen this happen on Tnet people will post dog tags without blocking anything out an or info about a dog tag an list all that persons personal info an other kinds of personal stuff on the forum. I understand that they are just tryin to help,but please use the Pm feature when dealing with personal info or block out the sensitive info...
