Got the email certificate today. 12 years old. No wonder the band was worn to almost nothing.

Wait...I'm not good at math, but if the letter says it was banded in 1999, wouldn't that be more than 12 years old?
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

I just sent it in a month ago. It was extremely worn. Smooth as silk. I was afraid the acid would completely eat it up. But not knowing the info on it I finally decided to send it in. Glad I did

So that's where you're hunting No. I just had them put that location(where my grandmother lived) so no one will really know.

Glad I did Ah, got it. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but realize that's how it came off when I re-read my first post. Congrats on the band!
