The most "STINKY" Silver I've ever dug & BIG Pres. Millard Fillmore Copper

Well the J-Team (UMRGolf2000 and myself) scored some goodies yesterday. Here's my finds including two really
nice silver discs that popped out of the ground....when I saw the first one I thought immediately HALF REALE......
It was shining beautifully but when I looked at it I noticed that it said "STINKY"
...obviously A OWNER loved their dog very much and had its tags made from silver...WOW . The very next
signal I dug was the other piece to it.


Also scored a really cool MILLARD FILLMORE Copper....I believe it might be from the turn of the century.



I also managed a few bullets...a couple .69s and one of which I believe MIGHT be a squashed
.72 caliber bullet which is super rare.....I've only seen one other......a rowel to a spur...and a thrashed sword hanger
Not sure what the pointed piece of brass on the left is...HOWEVER...i will say that it looks VERY familiar

Nice saves Josh. It's a shame about the sword hanger and Big Boy 3 ringer. Dman found what we thought might be a part of a brass medal at a Yankee site a couple of years ago. When we got to a stream, he washed it off and he said it read "Waldo" (no glasses again) and he thought it was some sort of dog tag. I didn't look at it but his wife said it read "Walls" when he got home. It was a zipper fob. HH, Quindy.

Nice silver dog tag. Is the other one blank? Wonder what that part would have been used for?

Any chance that flattened bullet was actually chewed? As in "bite down on this while I amputate your arm" kind of thing? Sort of looks like teeth marks on it. That happened alot, don't know how often such pieces get found or identified as such. Nice finds!

i hope that you weren't digging in the last resting spot of stinky how deep were they?

Of course I was joking about banner material But umm, no the tags were only about 2 inches deep. I know
the people in that area like to walk their dogs in this lot.....Im thinking the dog got to rough and the collar broke and
off came those two little silver tags that the owner had so meticulously had made for their dog. SILVER TAGS for a dog......still laughing at that.....why not just go ahead and make them from Gold
