License plates are great for dating homesteads and other abandoned hist 
sites. I used them on the Grasslands in 05. My 2 cents.

We occasionally find license plates on sites and they can be quite useful
time markers since, at least in Utah, it wasn't until the 1970s that 
stickers
began to be used on plates.  Before that, plates were replaced every year or
every few years.  Early to mid 20th Century, collectors were not what they 
were
today, so its likely that these were thrown away fairly soon after 
replacement
and can often help in dating sites.
