I got out for a few hours Saturday. Man, it was hot! I wasn't out long, but I did manage to find a few good finds.
The best of the day was an 1893 Streater dog tax tag. My oldest!! Then a nice Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR Button.
My only old coin of the day was a 1934 merc.
Oldest Coin: 1699 William III Halfpenny

WOW!!!!! Don...didn't you find another 1800s dogtag? That's sooo old!!That button ain't nothing to sneeze at either! It's been oppressive here, you're a trooper!
what a terrific find! I have found a fair amount of them, but not that old.

Great finds! Some of those 19th century dog tax tags can be quite valuable!

Huge congrats on your oldest dog tag, Don! That is an amazing find! Ones from the 1800s are scarce as hen's teeth!
That button is awesome too! It cleaned up really well. I have never heard of the CB&Q railroad. What a cool piece of history you saved there!

Quality finds Don! Love both of those! Curious - do you or anyone else here know approximately when dog tax tags were first issued? My guess is 1880s/90s but no positive.

To a dog tag collector an 1800's tag is the Grail. Well done.
