Dog Tag.....UPDATED......

[civilman1]

I was invited down to Va. by Hutch911 and his buddy Adam.Both of these guy's are top notch CW Digger's.I've held stuff I never thought I would even see let alone hold.Field's were thick with red Va. clay so it was pretty sloppy hunting the field's but we did.Any way we started out finding some lead on this one ridge top.....took abreak and they showed us another spot....picked a few keeper's from the field and moved on to the next.....this is where I found an Eagle Cuff from the sandy part of the Battle along with the pocket knife,had to be the best find for me for the day.Ended up at a cornfield where it was getting late and the temp's dropped almost 10 deg. in about an hour.....We called it quit's.......Hutch,Adam...That was one of the funnest day's I've had in a long time,Thank You very much for the Invite and you'll be coming up to Antietam soon along with some other spot's,appreciate It guy's.Wierd thing is when I came home to clean the find's up's I noticed some writing on the "COW TAG"......Not So!!!!! I believe this is some kind of "DOG TAG"........let me know what you think......Read's: RAPLEY.K.

Kind of a bummer but still a cool find Cman! I once found a small tin box near the first settlement in Ohio from 1772. Inside were awesome relics, a steel, piece of flint, rotted cloth and two gold earrings. It was one of the most exciting things I had ever found until I saw 14K stamped on the gold earrings. It was dropped possibly many many years before by a reenactor. Still a cool find though. HH, Mike
