We hit a great Gold Rush Site-- untouched and no indication anything was there except a coupel of dots on an old map.

Right off I dug a broken tongue and then the matching wreath a few inches away. Mark gets a nice Cast Brass wreath and then he gets a broken tongue and a matching wreath. Another wreath pops out a few nice relics and a large cent. What a fun night of relic hunting.

You boys have had quite the run of great finds. From one obsessed researcher to another (obviously) congrats on putting yourselves consistently on great sites. I love those gold rush buckles.

Another great hunt for you guys Ron, no gold this time out, but Tongues & Wreaths are great finds any day! :occasion14:
Love how this buckle looks in the pic, would've been sweeter had it been complete.

I subscribe to you guys on YouTube, love your videos bud! :thumbsup:
