Mexico Record Number & Destroy Tag? SOLVED Thanks Everyone!

Hi, new here...my first post.

My hubby and I have just started in the metal detecting area and are having such a great time. I have nearly lost 10 lbs in the process It's all that walking and the up and downs digging in the ground LOL.

Anyways, we went to the oceanfront yesterday and hubby found this piece. Have no idea what it is. At first, I thought a dog tag until I read it. Research on the net...I thought maybe a luggage/baggage tag...but still stumped. Does anyone have any idea what this is and what it was used for? There is nothing on the backside.

Thanks for your help. Have enjoyed reading all the wonderful stories and seeing the finds ya'll have made. Hope we get as lucky someday. It's only a matter of time

Just a thought on the key ring item. Maybe the owner didn't know how to destroy metal so he kept it in the key ring

Looks like the old tags that came on car keys years ago...the number was used to referance a new key if it was needed...Just a guess and welcome

good job
