I would like your input on what this tag is or could be. I found it on the shores of Lake Michigan in South Eastern Wisconsin. I have an idea, but I don't want to influence or implant ideas.

Looks like it says BRINKS. Looks old. How long has Brinks Security been around? Did they ever use and type of seal attached to a wire on their coin bags? ?????

That is one posibility. It is hard to tell if there is an S.

I would think if it was a Brinks seal, it would have a number on it. The only thing you can see for sure is BRINK. It seem to be copper. Color is very similar to a large cent.

For what it's worth, the spacing of the letters is correct for the entire word "BRINKS" even though the "S" is pitted away. I can imagine the "S" in its place and can see the lower half, but it takes some imagination.

You can certainly see the "BRINK". Based upon the character spacing, there should be one more character. BRINKS seems reasonable.

DB Cooper loot perhaps?
