Dog tags from the 50's are always sweet to find!

Actually... I did find what was left of a dog once. I was walking in the woods and noticed a chain dangling from an old piece of a barb wire fence. When I pulled on the old piece of rusted chain I was surprised to see that it led to a collar laying under the leaves about five feet away. Further investigation revealed that there was a set of skeletal bones with the neck bones running right through the collar. On the collar was a set of dog tags from the 60's. I figured out this dog had been broken free from it's owner and was probably chasing a deer. When it went past the fence it's chain wrapped around the barb wire. That dog probably spent several days days there before it died. . It reminded me of the time I found a few old King George coppers in the ground, right beside several musket balls....I wonder what happened there? HH M.

I dug several tags, all from the 70's at my brother-in-laws a few years back within a 20 foot area. Wondered why, and learned that the previous owner raised coon dogs. And since a coon dog can easily hurt or hang himself wearing a collar, the owners would simply hook the tags to their respective chainlink kennels. Evidently, I had located the site where the cages sat.

I found a dog tag one time and literally stopped digging and moved on to the next thing ! I wouldn't want to dig up bones knowing that they could be right there where the dog tag was.Its different if you dig them up without the tag...lol

That is an amazing find. 57,58,and a 59. I wonder how many more are in that yard.

Looks like I'll have to wait till spring to find out. Judging by the weather, it seems the season may be over here for me..

Maybe this may make you feel better. Very often people take the new tags and just add them to the rest of the tags, never bothering to remove the old ones. Dogs lose these tags all the time. I breed dogs, they lose they're tags so often I don't bother to put replace them anymore. I don't think it's from a dead dog, I truly don't...

Probably gonna hang myself here, but I have to say this is one of the most insensitive posts I have seen on here. There are two quick ways to kill youself on my property...put a bullett in your own head or screw with my dogs. I am not sure which is faster. No dog goes without a proper burial, and no dog goes without a piece of my heart.
