Metal Tag

[jmmymack]

Found the metal tag buried near a creek crossing in NC. It seems to be made of pewter with the numerals "73" on both sides. Could it be a tag that was possibly attached to a military weapon? Found near it was a very rusty length of light chain which appears to have been buried for many years.

Thanks
