A somewhat productive day at the mine town

[lumbercamp]

My first time out this winter and I hit the mine town. A few of the finds are 5 miners tags, one stamped A. F. C. & Co. Also a beat up miners lamp. It will clean up with electrolysis, a shoe last and stove lid. I know. Ya all can say it's just a lid, but 100+ years ago someone heated their shanty or a women cooked her husband a meal as he worked the mines all day by lifting the lid to put wood in. All rusty iron has a story.
