I imagine it is relatively unknown and no one has found the rest of these coins!

Well been doing my research I am going out today on a real low tide to look for this mystery. I happen to find the towns old dump site and WOW its full of goodies! Nothing but indian heads and buffalo nickels and got my first silver merc out of the spot a 1917. Its on the beach too and its full of bottles and stuff. Here is a workers badge from the old mill. It provided a lot of lumber for the 1906 San Fran earthquakes subsequent fire! Hope I am able to track down who this worker was!
