So I dug up some tags today

I was metal detecting behind my house today and I found an area where there was clearly a trash dump/burn barrel. To my amazement I pulled out two dog tags. At first I thought they were going to be another set of my Grandfather's that maybe he threw out. But they aren't. There was one other guy that lived in this house for only a few years before moving and my family bought it. Nobody can remember his name but they could be his. I searched NARA every way but can't get a single hit. What else can I try? Google comes up empty too.

 

P.S. I'll be sifting the dirt in that spot another day. There's tons more hits. Maybe I'll find other things related.

There was a WWII S/Sgt that shows up on findagrave; may or may not be the same guy?

Could these be post WWII? I don't see how though cause my grandparents moved in around 1950, or a little earlier. Houses built in 1947. There is no tetanus date either, is that unusual?

I believe the "A" in front of the serial number is for enlisted WAC's.

 

Best,

Hey I think you're right!
