Hi Steve

How big is that ? - is it like a dog tag or something ? and - one more question well two really ! - did Dad find it in the ground? and what part of Ireland?

Mack will probably know right off - but I need info to research  ::) ::)

Hi Annie & Mack it is approx 3 inches by 2 inches and was found on top of ground in a field nr Athlone Rep of Ireland.
I am presuming it is a plate from a bag or rucksack.

thanks
