When out & about is your prospecting adventures always keep an eye out for piles of rock that look out of place or not natural , They could be what is left of prospectors rock cairn claim monument , I have found many with claim markers , Some do not any paperwork but they ALL had Tobacco Tins , Was this a rule ? Today a lot are in glass jars & the shooters like to practice with them , Photos

Nice collection.
i have only found one - it was a Prince Albert.
The old phone prank was to call a store and ask if they had Prince Albert in a can.
If they said yes -- you would say then let him out :laughing7:
Cheers Mike
