V nickel, dog tag...

[diggingthe1]

I have been hunting sidewalk and road tear outs lately! These are from the past few hunts. I talked the workers into using my land to store their dirt. I haven’t found anything in the piles but I am hopeful. The Nickel is from 1900, and the charm came from in front of the church. The Alma Colorado dog tag should read 1864, but I’ll take a 1964. It is from dog number 1!! I’m guessing there wasn’t much going on in Alma in the 60s. It would have been a good time to buy property!! The purse piece sure isn’t dainty!!! I hope you all are getting out and finding things!!!

Dog tag is pretty cool. Did they keep records of who was issued that tag??

Maybe I could track it down by calling. I like to stop for coffee in Alma sometimes! It is the highest incorporated town at 10361 feet.

I found this today on a quick hunt, so life is good, 1897 quarter! Barber quarters are pretty rare for me, I haven’t dinged a coin in quite some time but you can’t win them all. Thanks for the posts!

Thanks A2, it’s a big project for our little town. They are paving and putting in sidewalks and redoing the drains on 4 streets.(1 blocks worth) they are moving a lot of dirt around. You have to be in the right place at the right time. Soon it will all be paved over It sure makes summer exciting for me!!!
