Welcome to Tnet. I don't know what it is but I don't think it's civil war.

Maybe a cow tag. Pinned them to one of their ears. Do you live near an old farm or ranch? Now days they are plastic of course.

Very nice reply, cow tags, lucky numbers... anything smarter than that?

I think cow tag is a pretty good guess. I have two or three I've dug over the years.

I was thinking maybe a wire basket tag like from junior high gym class or the public swimming pool.

chain goes around cows neck --you got the tag and 6 in of the old chain * --the numbers are to track milk productuon --when a "milk" cow stopped making enough milk she was slaughtered for beef -- thus the numbered tags were important ---via them they tracked how much milk she was "producing" when she got milked -- its a cow tag -- now be nice to the person who "rightfully" replied what it was and "thank the man" for his help -- since it both a SMART as well as CORRECT answer.
