hit the miner's camp again!

I hit the miner's camp up in the mountains again today. Despite the cold and a few snow flurries I had to hit this camp one more time this year. Last spring I found the officer's sword belt plate, eagle buttons, part of a powder flask and the serpent sideplate to an early rifle along with other goodies. Today's finds include the frame to a carpet bag, buttons, ox shoes, broken pewter spoon, cartridges, a lockplate and a brass screwbarrel boot pistol {minus the barrel} this was manufactured in New York. looks like I have to wait for spring before the next trip here, The camp sits not far below timberline and winter has hit us early dangit.

Great finds.....hopefully you will find some coins to go along with the relics. Should be one or two Chinese coins up there, plus some west coast silver.......keep us posted. (I have been reading about the snows in the U.S. already.....here in S. Korea, just got out of the summer heat. Still short shirt sleeve weather.... I hunted all day today, and no problem. Sorry about the snow.
