This Saturday, I hunted a well known Local Gold Rush Mine property with my fellow hunter Rob, aka Andre100; It was a long painful hunt, with dive bombing Mosquitoes and Extremely hot. Our hopes where high. But the finds where just not there. Coins where single digit and clad, trash was everywhere.

NONETHELESS, As I scurried about the brush, and found this item. I believe it's a Black Powder Flask. Certainly enough to generate some excitement and a nice first to go with my Gold Rush Era Shovel, Padlock and Chilean Centavo and such.
