Found old bullet casing and Name Plate: (NEW JERSEY) Need help with ID.

[arsurfco]

Hi, So I had a dream the last couple of nights that I was detecting on my parents farm in Wrightstown NJ and I found old relics. Well tonight it was a bit rainy and I wanted to try the Excal 2 on the dirt and not the normal beach I go to so I headed out to the first horse pasture and started detecting. I found a few nails in the first then minutes and then found a old bullet casing that says ( 43 T W ) printed on the bottom of the casing. Then about twenty minutes later I found a old name tag, not sure if it is brass or copper but wanted to see if anyone could help me with identifing what the name plate might be from.
Enjoy the Pictures.

1943 Twin Cities .50 BMG case (about 4 inches long correct?).

Need better pics of the other item.

YOur right about the casing, not sure how to add more pictures of the name plate. I was thinking it was off of a helmet or somthing like that... Not sure a brass plate was worn on the chest or not? Any idea what the casing is worth? 5 dollars maybe?

The casing really has no monetary value other than price of scrap.

As for the other piece. I can see that there is some design or writing on it but can't really tell what it might be from the angle. I'd try to get a pic of it straight on and post it on the "What Is It" forum. Link:
