I went back to the Chinese camp again

We had a couple of rainy days this week; apparently, that helped a few more things sprout at the old Chinese camp.

Good stuff. Some very nice buttons.

Wow, what a haul my friend! That place must be loaded with good stuff deep down, it never seems to stop producing!
I wish some of our other places were like that one.
Congrats!

That's what I think, so I'm going to keep trying there. Maybe there's a gold coin waiting for me 😅—you never know

That name tag piece is super cool, Probly my favorite out of the bunch. Have you tried doing any research on the name?

It's my favorite piece. I found some information about that person—he was a very wealthy man in Virginia City, Nevada. That's where I found it, and I'm still looking for more information about him.

Massive horse shoe! Must have been a big draft horse.
Surprised by the old bullets and casings. I didn't know the Chinese immigrants did much shooting. Nice site and finds!

I'm not really sure if only Chinese people lived in that area; I call it that because I've found about 50 Chinese coins there. But I also found some military buttons from the Civil War era, as well as some U.S. coins.

Very interesting assortment of finds! When I lived in Seattle I recovered coins similar to the ones in your photos...the Chinese were active in logging and later dry cleaning around the mid 1800's...I think. The Japan piece stands out as do the buttons...and of course the Summers piece is a keeper.

That's right, some things are really interesting.

I mean that answers it, you had all that luck because of the horseshoe, but seriously wtg man, very epic finds, I like the stamped & personalized key chain, wonder if you can trace that lady, long passed away for sure, but would be nice to find an address and where they lived, not an easy task for sure. You get that awe and connect with the past if you do!
