Another Asian labor camp along the railroad has been really good to me. I actually found it many months ago, but never really got to search it good until yesterday and today.It is not very often that I find coins pre 20th century so for me to find two seated dimes was really special. I have hit this camp pretty darn hard now, But the good news is I found another smaller camp a few miles further West. Cant wait to see what comes up next!
This is just a representation of what was found. For instance, there more opium can lids than what is pictured. Not present were numerous buttons, gun casings, bits of brass, home made hinges. A total of 13 coins were found.
Thanks for looking,

Two glass game pieces, a lock, and Chinese blouse buttons
Coins from camp Top row far left is Vietnam Minh Mang, next coin is unusual in that it is iron, no bronze. It is a Chinese Tao Kuang. Rest are Chinese coins minus the two dimes.
Seated dimes are 1868 and 1853.
Possible dotchin (opium scale) weight. The top character is the number 3 in Chinese.
Bottle cap?? with Dec. 6th, 1864 stamped (my Birthday, not year LOL)
Salve tin lid
Pomegranate cut from can. Possibly represents fertility (pomegranates have numerous seeds)
Opium trays cut from opium cans
Fan tan game pieces cut from opium cans and other cans.
Opium can lids with Chinese characters (maker's marks).
Bullets and maybe buck shot. I don't know a whole bunch about bullets.
