I've spent the last year excavating a quarter million pounds of sand and rocks by hand with small tools,running it all thru a sifter and finding thousands of Fur Trade era glass indian trade beads in every color of the rainbow and design imaginable. This is in the deep desert,Mojave desert,Calif. On private property with permission of the owner. All artifacts being given to the local ghost town museum. Well,among the beads are of course large amounts of broken pieces of obsidian and arrowheads,knives,scrapers,etc in various stages of construction. But I'm also finding a number of very old brass Chinese coins. This has me wondering what the heck the indians did with those coins. I found another coin yesterday. Put together an electrolysis device,cleaned the coin. Shines like gold now. So what did the indians do with brass Chinese coins?
