Beaver tails
I was wondering when companies stopped using the older style of pull tabs that I often see referred to as beaver tails. I wanted to know that if I start digging those up it means that I am in an older area. I dug a few this past summer at a local park near the trees.

A Matter of Perspective
Hey Journeyoftheanimals
 Since I was born in 1951, I don't consider them old at all. In fact, I consider them kind of recent. The same time frame of clad coins.  I look for bottle caps used with a bottle opener, not of the screw on kind, or cans that need a can opener to use.Here are two online references for the history of the tops: Brewery Collectibles Club of America - About the Beer Can Zip Tops Thanks  Leo

Sorry did not mean to say that someone of your age is old. Heck I feel old at 29. But thank you for the link. Looks like it will cover all the information I am looking for.
