Found Another Miner's Shack Site

[oldmxrat]

Still searching for new places to hunt. I found what looks like an old miner's home site outside of Searchlight. Lots of trash including stuff that looked like it was recently dug and left on top. I still found a descent number of non ferrous targets to dig, unfortunately no coins. Does anybody know what the symbol is on the apothecary weight?

Nice weight
1 Dram = 60 Grains
That's probably the symbol on the other side. gn
The front could have 60 lines on it also confirming it weighed 60 Grains.

The symbol on the other side is for "3 scruples" which equals 1 dram.
