Made it back under today and decide to dig out the layer of black glass left behind by what must have been a saloon or gambling hall during the gold rush. The glass is so thick that I could hardly dig in it! After a little bit in the first whole bottle showed up, and to my surprise it end up being an IP New England whiskey cylinder, needless to say I'm stoked! After that I dug a couple more blacks, and that finished out the bottles for the day. I cam back around and hit the beads again, and then under some bricks a nice surprise...
Nice IP New England cylinder waiting to be pulled out!
Half a bears grease lid, sadly couldn't find the rest...
All this came out of 4x4 foot area... They must have smashed it all on purpose... Luckily they left a few for me, the New England cylinder made it all worth while...
So here is the surprise, if you look closely in the center of the pic you can see a round edge.... Ended up being two Mexican 8 reales! Not super coins but great fun to find... Then a little after that pulling down the brick from the top a little silver coin falls out, a nice 1897 dime, just as I first saw it... I cant believe how clean it is. The last pic is the strand of trade beads in situ...
Thanks for looking everyone!
