I sent an e-mail on the site . Maybe I'll get an answer. I'm not gonna let this one go, especially when i've seen some over $100.

last year i found 171 baggage claim tags in the same hole about 4 to 8 inches deep...i have been selling them off on ebay and doin quite well...do the research it may be worth it. mine have averaged between $40 to $300 dollars each...research! research!research! congrats on the find
