My most Macabre find, Attn: Fla. Hunters

[finderzzs]

I found this last summer while water hunting, before I moved from South Florida to Hawaii. Oddest thing about it, is that's my birthday in reverse. Mines 10/31! I assume someone was buried at sea. I keep it on my keyring. Just thought I'd share this odd find.

It was in with the ashes when the urn was thrown into the ocean. Not to take away from your nice find but I would like to share a quarter size silver tag I found after 2 hurricanes on Treasure Beach in Florida. I have yet to ID this tag or the century.
Yours is stainless steel and will not burn up in the creamatorium to ID the ashes. What is mine for? The dates are 3 days apart.

I guess it could be the same type of tag for an infant that only lived three days. It would be very sad but over sixty years ago the medical field was not as advanced as it is today. Todays medical advances are amazing.

It could be, but silver melts at crematorium temperatures. Stainless steel does not. That is why it is used.

Didn't we figure that your tag was from 1740s? I remember the post it was on originally, and I always thought it was an infant death tag from a ship... Still neat to see it again!

Sorry to keep bringing it up but it was not positively IDed. Still a mystery tag. No Florida Birth or Death records for Jo-Ann L. Hall. Thought maybe some new members...


I googled Broward Crematorium Ft. Lauderdale Florida and couldnt find anything useful for finderzzs.

I have to agree with Kiro32, that is really unfortunate that someone put another persons ashes in a dumpster.
