Re: Back at the Miners Camp

Great finds. Have you ever found any miners lamps at that camp? They are neat little items.

Used to live in your neck of the woods. Just near the American in El Dorado Hills. That is where I got bit by that nasty gold bug. But you are in a prime area. There is still a lot gold up there!

Just spoke to my wife. The coin is from Ching period. The Emperor was Chi Loong. Last coins, according to my wife, period before Mao. And spelling doesn't count here. Unless you want it in Chinese. She said 1800's make sense.

Nice finds...

Thank you Paul for the info! I was wondering about that.
 

Re: Back at the Miners Camp
