Another rabies tag

L0S3R · Sep 21, 2019

So I’ve mentioned on here before that I have found several dog tags (and other goodies) on my hillside. I went out last night for maybe 30 minutes. Only light was my headlamp.

In the past I have found a 1958 rabies vaccination tag, a 2004 rabies tag still attached to the dog tag. Well I stumbled across a good signal last night and 4” down under a root. I found a 1969 rabies vaccination tag.

I’m starting to think they were hunting dogs because my house was built in 1963 and the oldest house on my street was from the 40s.

I’m kinda liking the tags since it has dates and county. Here’s my newest.

Anyone else enjoy finding these?

The date and area make them so much cooler. If it left that out I’d be bored with it lol. I love having an age and location.... none of mine have been that shallow though.

Sounds like you found a pet cemetary.

That's what I was thinking. At least the one with the name tag.

Nice going on the Dog tags . I enjoy finding them also .I've found a few over the years .
My most unusual tag was actually a cat license . Another unusual find was a small bird band ( probably leftover from some cat's meal ) .

Every so often I find cremation tags. 2 weeks ago , a 3am beach hunt yielded a small copper plate. It was dark and I didn't look closely at it. Went in the bag , thinking trash. Got home next day and saw it. These things are creepy and I will always rebury them at the beach where I find them. Yuck.....

Don't think of it that way. I'd see it as someone got their last wish and return it to the sea and say a prayer.

When I first read this I thought it said "Still attached to the Dog" :laughing:

I love finding dog tags.. my oldest is a 1910

Nice one! You don't see those uncolored oval ones too often. I only have one like that.
