Found this about 2 weeks ago in and old yard by the sidewalk out front. It's identical to other WWII style ID bracelets I have seen. My largest silver item to date!

If you really want to get the most out of that bracelet, track down the owner or their heirs. I returned one last year that had been lost 57 years earlier. The look on the face of the owner was more reward than the silver value could ever bring. Nice find.

Great dig JD! I'm surprised more of them aren't found they were really popular in the 60/70's and the clasps always opened. Quite a few gold ones were around too.
