The Preston ΔS metal abundance parameter has been determined for three RR Lyrae stars in the extended field of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. The variables V12 and HV809 are found to be nonmembers with [Fe/H] values of -1.7 ± 0.03 and -1.8 ± 0.13 respectively. V9, having [Fe/H] = -1.1 ± 0.11, is a probable member since (1) it is located very near the cluster center, and (2) our [Fe/H] value is in excellent agreement with the new cluster value reported by Pilachowski, Canterna, and Wallerstein.
