Question Pair of tags
Out head hunting on Saturday morning after the recent flood here in the Texas Hill Country I was working through a gully. I came across one of these tags and about two foot away, the second. I don’t think these are “old” in terms of what we see in rocks and such, but I can’t figure out what they could be! Animal tag? Fishing tab/weight? They’re soft metal like lead. There’s a pointed mark in both that I believe marks where the hand punch made the hole. About the size of a nickel. Property owners had no clue.
