Lastly is this nice tag that at first I thought it was a dog owner ID tag, it actually turns out to be
From the brotherhood of railway trainmen, John W. Yingling was shown as railroad brakemen in the 1906/1908 Baltimore city directories.

Nice 8R, you were Buffalo-less for a long time there. Hopefully this is the start of a new streak for you. Good luck in your next hunt!

All of these finds are great. i also like the tag but the pocket knife is really cool too. Those Buffalo nickel dates are always worn off. Almost every one I've ever found was like that.

All of these are great finds. I also like the tag but the pocket knife is really cool too. And those Buffalo nickels are always like that. Every one i've ever found the date was either worn off completely or really hard to read.
