Hello TNet family, I found this item about two inches below the grass on a park baseball field. It was curled inside of itself when I found it. Appears to be aluminum, and is engraved on the outside as follows,

GOOD LUCK

There are no markings or other substances inside of the band. It is 3 1/2" long (unrolled) and 5/8" tall. Thanks for any help you can give me, Cheers! Sub 8-)

That band would be a large replica of an actual duck or goose band and was given to a person attending a ducks unlimited banquet fundraiser as a random raffle entry number to be drawn for a raffle prize. An actual bird band would have a number and a phone number usually to call and report a harvested bird for migration study purposes. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much, fishnnut. I will consider this one solved! Happy Hunting, Sub :headbang:

I think it is a novelty piece as I could not match it with any known bird band.
