Default 2nd claddagh ring (sterling)

I went to the park today where I found the Barber half in Sept. I've been back there several times since, but have only found a wheat or two each time. I was there about 2.5 hrs. today, and was digging mostly deeper signals. I had a solid dime signal (03-29) only about three inches deep, and dug the claddagh ring, marked "sterling". A little later, I got a deep signal jumping around but in the silver area. Dug down about 8 inches and found the brass tag (T & T Co.). Checked the hole again and found the 1929 wheat.

The tag looks like a tool tag or baggage tag, but googling it didn't give any good results. Probably not a railroad tag, but who knows? Telephone and Telegraph Co.?

Nice finds! I love the old tag. It looks cool. If I ever find a silver ring, I want it to be one of that type.

Great Job!
Doug

Maybe it's a room or a locker key? Nice silver ring.
