No work today so I headed up to an old miners cabin in the middle of nowhere.this cabin was in use serving a mine way up on a very steep drainage about halfway up the side of a very steep hillside before the turn of the century.there is nothing left of this cabin except the rotten floor.there is also a few flat spots around near it which indicates there where some smaller structures plus out house holes.
I've know about this place for years and have been there poking around a few times while digging out this tunnel nearby.today I finally got to mess around with a metal detector.
I started by digging inside the cabin floor by pulling away the rotten wood that use to be floors and were covered with a120 years of forest floor.nails and trash were everywhere but I still managed to find a few things inside.didnt get hardly any area worked under the old floors but this is where I found my first silver a 1891 s seated liberty.i also found the rifle shell in there to.theres still a bunch of the cabin are to work I didn't have all day for that because I wanted to look around at the other spots too.
In all I left a lot there to do still but with finding the silver I'm guessing I didn't find the only one.so in the pictures is the dime a rifle cartridge and a shotgun shell bottom .a partial spoon and an old ax head.
The rifle shell says wra co. 38 56 wcf
Shotgun shell is a umc co. No. 12 club (not a new club)
