Miners ID tag

[DixieHunter145]

Found this at the fiancé's house in warrior.
I thinks it's 1940's but I could be off.
I love it though.
Would you believe it was found on top of the ground!?!

I would believe it,That tag probably isnt as old as you may think,The mines here in VA still use those type tags for which miners are underground,you go to any mine office here in VA you see a board with 100 of those on it,Still a really neat find.Thanks for sharing!

Some of the mines in Adamsville nearby were worked in the 1890s.
