Detected for a couple hours in a Baltimore City park this afternoon. Was using the Etrac for the second time. I think I know what deep rusted iron rings in at now, but this signal was a mid-tone and turned out to be a brass disk. Couldn't make out the details out in the field, but a clean-up at home revealed a very old dog license.

Very cool,,
I should do a Dog Tag historical search.
Any idea of when they started requiring dog tags in Baltimore? ?

Great looking dog tag. Hope you're able to find out if it's from the city or the county. Congrats.

Thx Jamie. It was dug at Druid, so it could have been Baltimore County.

Thx Mike! I haven't found much on-line to support a Baltimore City connection, however, the park from which it was dug was established by Baltimore before the date of this tag.

Thx ATW! Earliest I had found prior was from '01. There are examples of tags before 1900.
