My Dutch friends tell me of planes surfacing in the polders, the water content of that ground is quite high. The turn over the dog tags and remains if the pilot was unable to eject.

I ought to shlep some of the more interesting stuff over to your house for you and Florence to take a look at. Most of this stuff was collected by my long deceased aunt who gave it to me when I was a little tike. Lots of very interesting and historical stuff. No real idea of value, however.
Another interesting thing I have is a full set of the the coronation stamps for King George VI (1937). They are first day coronation covers postmarked in every land of the British empire on the day he was crowned. I'm not sure if it's valuable or just cool to look at. I know that one of my stamps (a 80 pfenning von Hindenburg, I think) was worth $80 fifty years ago.
