Oldest dog tag to date!

[metaldetecta]

Found this at a dump today. It is from 1946 and still has some leather on it! Update: I have just added an end of the year relic video for my first year of detecting that includes a rolex, CCC ring, police button from the 1890s and much much more! Thanks for your time.

Thats great. Congrats. Last tag I found was a 1936 with the name sammie. With the dog still attached. Felt weird taking it so I left it with him. Rip sammie.

Thanks! That's a cool story. My tag didn't have a name but its still sort of cool.

Yours has pretty good age, some people cant seem to break the 60s. I have found 7 over the years, oldest 1918 newest 1958. Youll find lots more.

I found 4 old dogs tags before, but I would be very happy if I could find ones as old as you have.

Hey metaldetecta, I have found about five license from mans best friend and the oldest is dated 1923. So this got me wondering what
state was first to require dogs to be license. I Google it and sure enough my home state of N.Y. in 1894 was first to institute a dog licensing
law in the country. " What a surprise "

That's a very neat tag! I have never seen one so old before.

Now I find my self pondering, did I bury my dogs with or without their tags or collars? I have not dug up a single dog take, I hope I don't ever dig one attached to the remains. I don't think I could handle that. A cat tag, no problem. But not a dog tag.
