Thanks for putting up with these posts, and many thanks for the answers. This one is about the size of a quarter, (little larger),copper, and I'm assuming a baggage or something pertaining to a railroad line.

The wife said these are for the private room the first stands for toilet paper (TP) and the second is for SH!^ # 67.

Now as for my thoughts these look like Id tags for miners they hang them on the board before entering the mines and pick them off when leaving. The idea is to be able to identify and account for who is below.
Just our thoughts

Well, we know its from Arcadia, Kansas which does exist...possibly they have a historic society that can provide some input.

Texas & Pacific railway started in 1871. Could be a baggage tag or some type of seal.

The Texas & Pacific Railway never went through Arcadia, Ks. I think what you have is a tool check tag from a local business or perhaps a coal mine in/near Arcadia. You may want to check out the Kansas historical society for more information pertaining to your tag.http://www.kshs.org/research/collections/documents/bibliographies/counties/kscocr.htm Did you find it with your detector?

Yeah, I dug it near Denver with the old trusty Silver Eagle. Near some train tracks. Only thing I dug that day. Never really thought it was train related, (figured it would be more self explanatory), but do like the date being on it.
