1946 Old house, finding more silver, dog tags.

[musclecar]

I hunted the yard again today, between the rain and hail. The other day I found 2 silver dimes, a merc, and a rosie. Today I found 4 wheaties, 1952s, 1955d, 1945d, and a 1931 (Sorry no S. Dang). Also found another 1943s Mercury, a 1952d nickel, and this set of dogtags. The dogtags were pretty much on top of the ground, under some bushes. The rubber surrounding the edges are really nice, considering being out in the elements for who knows how long. I would love to find the owner or his family and return them. See the pics. Gosh, I have been at this house for a year, and finally started hunting the yards. Half an acre of unhunted history? I will keep posting as long as I keep finding!
God bless,
MC.

The tags are not that old but you may want to edit the picture and not show the persons Social security number which is the military id number I'm not sure but they didn't start putting the SSN number on until Vietnam!!! I don't think they do now either? I know they didn't during the WW2!!

I'm thinking they are from the 1980's. The ssn. plastic rim, and stamping type seem to be from that time. They are not quite like mine which are 1992.

When i joined the service in 1967 i had a RA # on my tags Regular Army if you had a US# on your tags that meant you where drafted, one year later in 1968 they changed it to a SS# for everyone so i have 2 sets of dog tags, Milatary dogs are made from the best grade of stainless steel and nickle and guarantied to never rust ever !! .Just recently 2 sets of dog tags where found at a crash site of 2 Navy pilots that where shot down in N.Vietnam in 1967 with a metal detector those tags were in perfect shape after 42 years buried in the jungle .Two more MIA.s crossed off the list.
