Hey Detectorists!
I hope you're all able to get out for some solitary digging of late.
I've found a number of CT license registration tags like the one pictured.
Guess the year of the oldest one I've found and you'll win this still-in-the-package Garrett MS-2 Deluxe set of headphones with 1/4 inch jack.
Good luck!
PS I'll keep it going for a week. If no one guesses, the closest wins. If multiple are closest I put those names in a hat. If two people guess the same date I'll take the first one.

Ok, The winner is Oneil1979!!
His guess was as good as DiggerDon's, both missed by a year! Mrs OxShoe decided the winner by choosing which hand I had the name in.
PM me your address Oneil and I'll send it out when the virus subsides.
