[MonDak]

I did'nt get but about 5 feet from the bike and found the token. The tag
I found next to the old foundation.

here's the token


here's the tag. A gal at the local historical soceity said that when a miner would go down in the mine he would place his numbered tag on a board so they would always know who was in the mine.

I don't recall ever seeing another "Miner's Tag" posted. Very cool find. And the token is equally cool.

How do you carry your metal detector on your motorcycle? I also ride a motorcycle and I would love to take my detector places with me on the bike. I could do both hobbies at the same time and save gas money too!
