1955 Dog Tag

[deershed]

I short hunt this afternoon finding a 1955 dog tag. Love these older tags.

Hopefully one day I can add one to my collection from the 1800's.

I had to do a update on this dog tag, thought this was pretty cool.

A week after I found this tag we were hitting a yard about 10 miles from where this tag was found. We were at the yard I found my first barber and the same day I found my first ever gold. My 55 dog tag actually came from the same yard I found my first gold.
While we were hitting this yard the owner came out to see how we were doing and show us one piece that was already found here. The small yard had already been hit before by several others?
The owner showed us another dog tag that was the exact same as my tag. Same style, date and county, only difference was his had an earlier serial number when made. Both tags no doubt came from the same plate or die when being made. The second 5 in the date had the same weak strike when being stamped.

How cool is that, what are the odds?
