Clay Pipe , Silver Chain Dug at the Eagle Belt Plate site !

[The Seeker]

Yesterday I went back to the site with a friend of mine and started to dig the area where I left off on Sunday. A couple of hours later I happen to find the items in the pictures below along with a number of square nails and iron spikes. The silver chain was another surprise that happen to pop out. Now it looks like a common chain you see today, but looking at the links closely they are a crude type and how they were made is a good guess. Where it came from another good question. One of the coins found is dated 1838 everything else is older.


I will keep up dating our progress at this site as we continue our searches there! Also I thought the site may have been burned down , but after checking the item that we are recovering . There are no signs of fire damage to any of the glass or pottery shards that we are recovering. Thanks again..............

Great finds, Seeker!!

An md'er from CA found a belt plate here that is similar, if not the same, as yours. He found it in one of the '49er mining camps in N. Cali...

Cool. Looks like you were on an archeologist's dig. Clay pipe has gotta be really old.
