Just getting a chance to post what I found a couple of days ago at an old gold mining site (1850’s - 1930’s).
Half of a brass bullet mold. It’s either .31 or .32 caliber. Length is 4 7/8”. I searched for the other half without any luck. It’s a tough hunt. The area is covered with brush and poison oak.
I also found a pocket watch and fob (Cal Bears) from the 20’s and a hotel room key fob.
Lastly, I found my first coins ever, of any type! Two Chinese coins.
Top one minted between 1661 - 1722. The other 1796 - 1820.
On the way out I got a good signal. Turns out it was the copper wire wrapped around some insulators. Ended up finding 12 total. 3 in perfect condition.
Thanks for looking! Good luck out there!
