The keepers are interesting...........

The copper coin with the Roman numeral 2 disintegrated as it came out of the hole. The other side is toasted. Haven't figured out what it may be. The other piece is a 1917 Lycoming County, PA dog tax paid (#224) dog tag.......

Thanks for lookin' in and best to you all on your hunting adventures..............

Your copper tag is either a tool tag or a miners chit tag.

I am a lover of the wheat cents. Congrats on a wonderful hunt!

Thanks, kingskid. I'm partial to the wheats, also. Unfortunately the 41s were pretty bad.........there's hope for the 57s...............

Sorta thought the same thing........too bad the top turned to dust. A hole there would have been a good clue to have.

I agree. Didn't have any clue what it was in the field. Couldn't read anything on it 'til it got a little home cleaning. It looked interesting, so it went in the finds pocket..........

Nice finds Chizzy, I am still looking for a dog tag as old as yours, my oldest is from the 1950's.

Thanks, LD........it's only my 2nd dog tag. The first was from the 80s, so this was a real treat to find!

I'm always happy to find wheat cents - it keeps the hope alive that some silver might be next. Congrats!
