I got the last laugh

[BigWaveDave]

5 months ago I earned a permission from a lady who was selling her house, an old beauty, corner lot, shade, clothesline....drool. I followed up a week later and her dude chased me off, what a tool. Today I was scouting out new turf, and I see a painting crew at this same old house, getting ready to do their thing, place has been empty now for a month after being sold. The kid in charge of the crew says OK...HA!!!I beeped like a champ, pulled out a ridiculous amount of clad, two Rosies, a little silver ring, and my best find of the day...a 1927 Ft. Myers dog tax tag!!! Oldest one I ever found. I am going to follow up with the dog tag guy in the token/tag forum and let him know about it too.. I hope this proves to be the oldest on record for my area.




Thanks for looking!

Great finds- and congrats on finally getting access to that property. I really like the silver ring- will probably clean up nicely. On an unrelated note, I'm a big fan of SW Florida- wish I was there today! We're literally up to our knees in snow in MA! Best of luck on your next hunt.

That brass coat hook seems to be a beauty also. With a bit of cleaning it would make a great addition in the garage or basement - and they last forever, not like today's plastic stuff.

I went over a year hunting yards without finding a dog tax tag. Finally found my first not too long ago. I was tickled to have found it. Great job on the silver and tag.

Congrats on all your silver and oldest dog tag! Nice!

MiSterG- you forgot to count the snow drifts. He he!

I've never considered under clothes lines but that makes so much sense

I never would have thought of it myself, but thanks to Tnet, I learned that tip as a newbie
