So I've been casually gridding my yard and stumbled across a burn site yesterday in a far off corner. A little history on the area the town was founded about 1918, our house was built 1943. Above us was once a veterinan clinic on the hill top.
So I hit this spot and I keep getting 85-89 on the VDI and the pitch is so sweet. Start digging, nails, nails, nails, so many I could have opened a hardware store, floppy disk parts, and then a tag. Still another swipe, still high VDI, dig, nails nails, another tag. Now this wouldn't be that big of deal however earlier on in the day I had found a tag in the center of our backyard.
Turns out they are dog licenses from the 70's. However why were they in a burn pile with nails? Have I stumbled across a serial dog killer or did they use to burn dogs in the 70s? It just has a creepy vibe to it.
Update 8/13/15: Found an additional 3 tags in the same area today. One with the address for a vet clinic in Portland.
