While we were in Virginia on vacation I was able to do some detecting at a farmhouse of an old peanut / cotton farm. I found and returned to the lady that owns the farm, a 14 karat gold ring. I also found 4 silver dimes, 1 Rosie, 2 Mercs, and one Barber, also found an old US half cent that would date from the early to mid 1800's, the reverse is in decent shape but the obverse is pretty toasted, also a dateless toasted buffalo nickel, a 1923 Virginia dog license, and a pile of Wheat pennies. A good hunt with some nice keepers. Thanks for looking. Good luck out there. IMG_20201008_160804338.jpg IMG_0001.JPG IMG_0002.JPG IMG_0003.JPG IMG_0004.JPG IMG_0005.JPG IMG_0006.JPG

Nice finds! There's a guy (maybe he's still here) who is compiling a book on early dog licenses...he'd probably be interested in your tag. You can do a search for "dog tags" and find info about him.
