hi all you diggers- i went back to my favorite spot that i thought was all hunted out. its my honey hole! this lot dates back to the ca. gold rush. the buildings all burned down 3 times on this main st . -twice in the 1800's & the last time in may of 1914. one old timer built his next building out of granite, "you aint a gonna burn that down" lol. anyway on this 1/2 acre lot nothing was rebuilt. i know there was a saloon, a leather shop & a hotel there. i flipped over a rock & bam a sauce bottle from the late 1800's. this place has yielded 14 coins: 1894 quarter, 1843 dime, 2- 1892 dimes, 1906 dime, 1869 shield nickel, 1904 V nickel, 1898 I.H., 1 drink token, & 5- good for five cents in trade tokens. 2 rings, about 10 bottles- lea & perrins, Dr. kilmers swamp root kidney, liver & bladder remedy etc.......... old door knobs, clay marbles, GOLD & old buttons.
oh yeah, this time i brought some head phones. OMG what a difference. i can hear every little cherp! so i took my time & dug some fainter sigs. came up with the 2 nickels & the 1906 dime! all in a 6x6 area! so now i have to go back over the whole place again! lol. Can you dig it?!! Happy Hunting

I always wear a good set of headphones. My uncle, Zeus, never wore them until his nephews and Paco taught him the trick of the trade. hahaha
