Wow, that thing sure looks good after being professionally restored! I wish I knew how to clean items that good.

The tag is worth an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 but it's McGirt's tradition to hand over artifacts to the property owners.
Wow - hats off to the man for his honesty. Hope the owners are at least nice enough to give him a finder's fee!

What a find! that is really something special. I would be happy to give it up so it could be put in a display, I think it would be pretty special if it had like a donated sign with his name or something on it. I think that would be really cool

I guess I'm missing something.. I see no picture to click on..
There is the news article but no link to click on in the article..
I'm on a tablet, maybe that's why I don't see it..
Thanks..

Wow...that's a cool story/vid.

Not sure what he meant by "people have been locked up for less"?

Could be the reason. Some browsers will block images, depending on settings.
There may also be something in your setup that can be turned on.

Maybe your Tablet has a website where you can ask relevant questions ?
