Some recent finds

[Lil Nick]

This is my first post with any finds in it. I have been detecting for about 1 year now and I am loving it. Have not found much to brag about yet, haven't even found any silver coins but did finally find some wheat pennies this week. I had seen a house several blocks from where I live had been torn down so I stopped at the house next door and asked if I could detect around it. The owner said that the house was built in the late 1800's and his house was built in 1904. He gave me permission with the promise that if I found something valuable that we would split it. He also told me that other people had detected around there before the house was torn down. I found 3 wheat pennies (1st wheat pennies for me), and an old dog tag/license issue by the city where I live. Also found an old ink bottle that I think is from the late 1800's along with the usual junk. I showed him the things I had found and offered them to him if I could take pictures of them first. He told me that I could keep them and that I could come back. Have not made it back yet but I am planning to very soon.

I will try to post a picture of the dog tag.

Welcome to the forum. Nice dog tag Lil Nick! 3 yrs before Okla. became a state... Hope you go back and recheck the site. Those types of sites can be hit over and over and still pop out some goodies.

Re: a smaller picture of the tag

Yes. I did find it in Duncan. I have lived here for about 45 years. There are several older places around here that I am still trying to check out. Are you near Duncan? If so let me know and we can get together sometime. I have never been out with someone else and would love to learn a few things from someone else.

I don't live in Duncan,

I don't live in Duncan, but I have hunted down there, I have a friend that lives down there and he would be glad to hunt with you...I live up south of Norman.
I will pm you Steve's email address.
