Heres my results of some past few hunts. The toasted large cent is an 1825...i think. that and the 1919 dog tag was from some old foundations and the 64 is from a hunt with Mud(swat) , pictured is the ball field where the merc was found. There were other relics like a couple of crotals, some wheats, clad, and a 43P war nickel but my batteries in my camera died.

Whats the oldest dog tag anyway? and when did they start puting dates on them? 1919 is the oldest i have now, i have a few in the 20s, but just how far back do they go?

Thanks

I like those dog tags. I've found a few where I am and have managed to mail them back to their owners, which is a pretty good feeling. I'd like to think they might have good memories of their pooches if they aren't there with them any more.
