Using metal strips or tags was once a popular method of marking stations in Texas caves. You can still find them in some of the caves that were surveyed back around the 1960s. I still use colored aluminum tags for permanent stations that I want to easily relocate. Jerry. In a message dated 6/13/2010 11:08:19 P.M. Central Standard Time, dlocklea...@gmail.com writes:
I have a question, or questions. Do cavers still place numerical metal tags at caves? Do any caves still have the old metal tags around them ? My memory seems to recall seeing a round tag a little bigger than a quarter with a number on it at a cave I once went to. I can't remember if I saw that at CBSP or somewhere else where cavers were marking caves. Maybe out at Bandera ? If my memory is correct, was this a grotto thing, or a TSS thing, or some other group?
