Dog tax tag 1908

[Ammoman]

I took off this morning with my new impact fitted with the small coil. Over all i am pretty impressed by the depth of that thing. I picked up about one dollar in clad along with a nice dog tax tag dated 1908.
I was using the standard DI3 mode with gain set at 85. The tag was about 7 inches down with a nice round high tone coupled with a solid 78 on the VDI. I was sure i was going to see a clad penny or dime so when this popped out of the ground, it was a pleasant surprise.

The first image was after a quick tooth picking



This was after hitting it with a little olive oil for a half hour



I have a great 1840s permission lined up for next Sunday so until next week...HH everyone!

. I reckon he was one of those 'Tea Party' dogs and ripped off his tax tag while muttering something about being taxed to death. Or he lost it while chasing a rabbit.

Yea i am amazed that cities had pet taxes back then. I tried looking up the history of the dog tax here in Greensboro and found nothing. Now i am on a mission to see how far back my city has been doing this.

I like them too, didn't realize how long animals were being vaccinated for rabies either, a lot longer that I imagined.
