Drivers License SC

[WilliamH]

I went out to a new site where an old house was at one time. Don't know anything about the place yet. However I found a folded piece of copper/brass maybe. Don't know. Anyway. I had no clue what it was. I got back to work and showed it to my Sup. he says it's a drivers license. I called BS on that. He pulled out his phone and sure enough there is the pic.
I never knew they were made like this. HH William.

at least it wasn't one of those tags that were left by a fellow forum member! Wish I could find that thread, but it was an amusing one a couple years ago!

Good find, those are getting rare. The newest one I have is from the mid 50's. Tony

Very cool find. I was unaware that SC made them like that. You learn something new every day. GL&HH.

leaving "I was here " tokens by other detectorists is just un cool. I hear the "Diggers" do it. Just uncool.

I have never seen a drivers license like that before. Great find. I would go knock on the address give to see if a relative lived there. It might be a nice momento of a grandmother/other relative.

That is so cool!!!! I was born in Sumter, SC! It's possible that it's supposed to say Hasel Street instead of Hazel.

I like that a lot! Never knew they were made like that either. NOW I have to add one to my wish list. Great find.

i dug a similar item in december, a 1924 CITY OF KINGSTON (ONTARIO CANADA) LICENSED DRIVER with a 4 digit number. made of brass with some remaining orange enamel. sorry I deleted my photos when the item was sold. dug from the neighbors' yard in Port Ewen, ny. sold it on Ebay for $10. web site "chauffeur badges. com" has identical item posted. go to site and likely your item will be listed with a photo. the site has samples from most states. nice save, they are collectible
