I had some vague pun about using a "marker" for the plant rather than a tag... but wasn't sure how to phrase it....
Most landscape/home and garden supply stores have little flags you can buy, they come in different colors...that might work to mark the plants (even if the flag is gone, you still have the metal stake it was tied to)
Tell your snake-shy friend if you make lots of noise as you approach, the snakes will get scared and leave--even poisonous ones prefer to leave the scene rather than bite (and waste venom)
Aye,

Oh that such light weight trinkets would work but the field is a very tough place, and you end up wondering what is going on when you're not around. The missing tags are heavy 3 cm diam metal disks with numbers deeply embossed and they are attached to a heavy wire pushed 15 or so cm down into the ground. A 20 cm spike marks the actual corner. More than 15% of the tags were pulled up, one or two still MIA, but all of the plots were found! Yeah!
