found a tag spill in old park today

[Goes4ever]

hunted an old park today, found some clad, 3 wheats.........odds and ends stuff but I cam across all these tags not sure what they are all within a 10 foot area, my partner found 3 more of them. I cannot figure why no one dug them before this is a fairly hard hunted park. Any idea what they are?
what are these tags!

I have found similar tags in a boyscout camp and they were used for their canoe's so they could keep track of the scouts for safety. They used a pegboard system.

Congrats on the nice hunt. Could they be bag tags? Like in the old days they would tag a bag of corn, or cotton? In any event a cool find, Beale.

people on other forums are saying they are "tool tags" not sure how old they are?

Nice tags,
Those are some of my favirote finds. Man you are slaying the treasure this year. I love digging the good with a machine that costs half what the big boys cost.

The tags are cool, have you tried to research the company that is stamped on them? Is that a ring in with the clad?

I cannot find any info at all on the company on the tags

Sure look like tool tags to me. The numbers are possibly employee numbers. Take a tool leave a tag. We have a whole bunch left over from days gone by where I work. I think miners also used (still do?) a similar tag to identify who and how many were underground.

I have found similar tags, same font on the numbers on a shipwreck from 1909. I was told they where tool tags.

I posted a picture last winter.
