"We found 8 pair of jeans from the 1800s in an abandoned mine in Arizona at Castle Dome Mine down an old shaft unexplored since the 1800s. The jeans were kept by the mine owner. They are supposed to be put on display at the museum. 3 pair were Levis Strauss the rest were Stonghold, Triumph and Pacifico. There are estimated to be about 100 pair of 1800 Levis in the world. They are prized by collectors especially in Japan. Brit Eaton went back to try to find more and examined the jeans, he really knows old denim!"

I do not care how much they are worth, you won't find me in no dirty old mines with wild animals.
