Tinpan, I'll wash your truck, but I don't care much for gold. I like the miner's pick. :wave:

(congratulations on the gold haul, anyway... nice!)

How about adding some Canadian Gold to your Pay Dirt , then those Colonial boys might Shine the Rims after the Wash :laughing7:

I don't hunt colonials, tinpan, but do hunt for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese coins dating from the same time frame.
Does that qualify me? ::)

And for a bit - or two bits - of gold, I think I could fly down under and wash a truck.
(Are you supplying the water, or would I get to drive it into the surf to do the wash?

)
Great grouping of gold......keep us posted.

nice pile of gold !! :thumbsup:

I love the gold, but the old miners pick is great. it makes you wonder, was it lost? left their in frustration? Did the owner hit it big and it was misplaced? Or maybe I'm just thinking way to much. I love seeing your finds,thanks for sharing. Dan

Will you accept truck washing applications from a guy in Germany, LOL? You have an awesome detector mobile, I like Toyota but have a Suzuki! Congrats on the pile of gold, those old timers didn't miss much, dang it!!! There has to be another welcome stranger laying around there somewhere. Would concentrating on the missed areas like borders between mines be interesting? HH, Mike

It is not uncommon to find picks in the gold camps.(I dug four today!)I have one camp that has produced over fifty of them!!!

Nope. Even after I saw Colonial hunters in the title yesterday, I still didn't view it. I was expecting to see his usual 1850s Aussie relics that he calls Colonial. :laughing9:

Hey, Tinpan, let's see some REAL Colonial relics. :laughing9:

hikeinmts · Nov 22, 2009

Tinpan, If you haven't done research on those Chinese coins, I have been i.d.ing them for 30+ years. I find them here in S. Korea quite often, as they were traded, weight for weight.
If you send me an imail with them in it, or give me pics here, on this net, then I will i.d. them for you......and won't even ask
for any flakes of gold.......of course, will take any contributions you might want to make. :laughing7:

And There are some of the Chinese coins that will rival your gold finds......got the books to tell you, if you desire.
