Found a new to me Old Headstamp

[HuntinDog]

Found this 10ga headstamp in No. Cal foothills.
Thought it was a pretty good one so I cleaned it up and took a look on Turtlefoots web site.

This headstamp seems to be more common in the American West, especially the mining areas in California and Nevada. The date range is a commonly listed date range for this line. I have yet been able to verify it personally though.

Question How many have found one of these?? In all my years of hunting farm fields and old cabin sites this is the first I've found.
