Default My best ever find!

I finished yard duty a little early this afternoon so I grabbed the x-70 and went in the back yard. I've been over my yard 15 or more times already but today I found my first silver from it, a 54 dime. About 5 minutes later my best find ever, one of my old dogs vaccination tags from when I was a little boy. I've lived on this property all my life and as far back as I can remember I have the fondest memories of Rex. We were together all the time. He died in my arms when I was about 8. Back then our nearest neighbor was a half mile away and from the date on the tag it fits the time I had him. I feel it was his. I dug up some old old pictures of me and him together back then. What a find.
