1908 El Paso dog tax tag

[Texas Yankee]

Had a great weekend. Invited some tnet members from Las Cruses NM to my Texas honey hole. They had a blast and even found some silver and WWI and WWII buttons.

For the most part i had fun watching them enjoying there time fishing this prime Texas ground, lol.

I didn't do bad either... First find was a wheat penny and then after that everything fell in place. Next I found a silver Rosie,1928 buffalo nickel, a 1900's sterling/gold trim buckle, a Mississippi Tax Commission token which at first glance looked a Chinese coin. Finally while calling it a day I had a double iffy tone which I am happy I fished out because it turned out to be a 1908 El Paso Dog Tax tag and a Palmolive token. Also found the occasional clay marbles.

Hope you Las Cruses guys had a blast cause I know I did!

Enjoy the pics!

Those are all good finds! I found a dog tag in about that shape, but mine was 1909

You should send pics to the Dog License collectors clubs. 1908 is quite old and could be an undocumented one.

That's a nice chunk of silver buckle!
Even the dogs in Texas have stars! Awesome!

Congrats you did well!
