WW1 Dog tag and wheats #33-36

[vanoldschool]

I Turned the big 42, so I Headed over to my spot looking for a Birthday silver with no big expectations, after last weeks Personal Best dig ever.. (2 silvers, a v Nickel, king George in one hole) anyways Nothing great, however I got this identity discwhich says glenwood m.hic? with U.S.A below it. On the obverse it has 6584732, did some research and found out there was a person with the same name had passed but had served in the Army so I will do more research, This tag was found about 100 yards from where I found the 1916 wheat, so it matches the time frame, US entered the war in 1917, I also Got four more wheat's to take me to 36 for the year, Thanks for looking and I hope you all continue to have success in this great hobby.

I believe Army serial numbers may have been replaced by 9 digit Social Security numbers in the '60s, so your tag is 'pre' that era.

Interesting finds.
Take a look at these tags I found a while back.(Not the dog tax, the round aluminum ones.)

They are WW1 era, but turned out (through some research done by the man's relatives) to be prison tags from that time

Serial numbers on WW I dog tags first appeared in 1918.
