Can you post better pics of the coins/tokens you found?? when you clean them DON'T MAKE THEM WET... 

The coins are two silver Mexican 8 Reales and an 1897 dime. The reales were from a burnt layer and in bad shape... I'm not sure how to clean them either...

Great photos & story Matt, It almost feels like I’m there! We love playing under buildings too. It’s been my experience that Gold Country sites of that age hold lots of coins. You may want to take a detector under there or sift for those little round yellow metal objects, their there........[/align]

I've been wondering what the little round yellow ones look like when you see them in a burnt layer or in sticky mud? Do they look yellow like they should? I thought for a little bit I had two gold coins today these Mexi 8's are so heavy..., and yellowish silver...

I am literally salivating wanting to be with you on that site. No way I could make it in though, too old, too fat. With those great pictures it's almost like being there. Thanks.

Real nice posts and finds Matt. Love the antler scratcher. We found a Mexican reale coin a few years back near our hillbilly dump. As I recall, they were from King Montazuma's short reign.

PD

That dime looks like an S mintmark. And it looks like it is in very good condition too. It could be worth $35+

Nice finds!
