1941 Dog Tax Tag and my first silver coin of 2010!

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I took a little road trip up to Albany Oregon today ~ I received permission to detect around a house that was built in 1910. The property around the house was pretty clean ~ I only found a little bit of clad, about 8 wheat cents dating from 1944 to 1952, and a 1941 BENTON COUNTY DOG TAX tag. After that I met up with Ron & Richard at a different location in Albany where I dug a 1946-S Roosevelt dime (Silver coin #1 for the year), and three wheat cents dating from 1920 to 1947.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

You couldn't ask for better weather to go detecting in Neil.
Congratulations on the 1st silver for 2010 and hope you will
find many more during the year. The dog tag cleaned up real
well and is a good find. Glad "the man" didn't get nasty.....

LOL ~ yeah, someone called the Police on me, Ron, and Richard! But Ron and Richard left before they came so I had to talk to 'em by myself. We received permission to detect a guys lawn, and I guess the neighbor assume we just walked up and start detecting without permission. So the cop knocked on the guy's door and talked to the home owner ~ the home owner told the cop that he gave us permission. So he wished me luck and went on his marry way. Too funny!

Neil,

A good start to a promising new year, and many more to come!

I went out alone on Saturday and found 1 silver Rosie, so I'm on the board too.

Hope to see you soon,

Mike
