Hey was taking bottles about 1892 1940 in Minnesota and I found this pan and it has some strange symbols in it... Any ideas on what's going on?

It was 6 ft deep I'm hoping that there was a moonshiner / farmer who buried some loot or stash some money here near where the bottle dump is and maybe scratch some symbols and some junk at the time so later when he's digging the stuff up and finds a junk it reminds him exactly where to go and let some noise on the right track are they treasure symbols? Comment if you got any advice or tips or think I'm just going crazy thanks :)/

Just an old rusted wash basin. It once was something, now it's really nothing.
Not a symbol that is treasure related.
Keep digging

Don't know where you are located, but here in California during the gold rush many of the Chinese immigrants would scratch their name into their possessions. Most all of them had the same stuff and this helped to keep others from swiping them. I've dug a few broken bowls with the owner's name scratched in them. pretty cool to have that personal connection the past.

That's gotta be it. Makes sense.
