Mark and I got a lead on a nice Gold Rush cabin site. So Mark, Andrew and I headed out to the site and documented our little adventure.

The site was awesome and although it had been hunted before we were still able to manage some fantastic finds. the Star Tongue is by far my favorite dig and I was pretty excited when this baby popped out!! Don't see many STAR Buckles!!

Found a great variety of coins and other great relics!!

Thanks for looking!

Gotta love it.

Terrific find you have there. It is strange to see so many coins lately that have been holed. Once I had found a large cent which had a huge hole bored through it. Looks like yours ,they must have used it as a washer.

That's one fantastic hunt.

The only gold ever found in my area was pretty low grade stuff.
You guys in CA have really great potential to hit on some amazing stuff and this time, you did just that.
Congrats.
