WINNER #1
My favorite find for September 2010 goes to Mr. Raymond B. of TN. The find is an 1898 Spanish-American War dog tag found at 10 inches with a GTI 2500. What makes this item my favorite is the research and action which followed the find. Since the dog tag's ID number was legible, Raymond B contacted the Spanish-American War History Board who determined it belonged to PVT Frank Blakemore (later 2nd Lieutenant) and his great-grandson was notified. Raymond B. established contact with his great-grandson and returned the dog tag to where it belonged…with the family. Lieutenant Blakemore rests in the Arlington Cemetery.
Congrats to Raymond B for discovering a soldier’s personal item and returning it to his descendant…a respectful deed in kind.
Raymond B. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!
