That's a nice find! How deep was it?

 

[marinedad]

I think it was about 5-6 inches deep. we're not sure fred if it's a vehicle tag or a bicycle tag. maybe the motor vehicle dept. issued bicycle tags too, don't know.
hi Jason, how are things on the left coast?

Left coast is great, getting some silver but nothing earlier than 1940. Love watching the IL digs!
