GB_Amateur Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mining cabins, camps, and associated ghost towns can be extremely trying due to all the iron trash. I once found a can (possibly coffee can) with a patent date from the late 1870's, so keep an eye open for embossed/stamped lettering, etc. Looking forward to video #3.

Hepplewhite Explorations Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yes, found over 50 cans. Most so rusted I couldn't ID Them, its so wet here in BC that iron doesn't last long even in the ground. In our next video we at least found some Identifiable stuff. (PHOTO below) We need to practice on a place with less trash so I can learn to ID a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brogansown Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Cans can be as interesting. My most treasured cabin/town site find was a coffee pot from the 1800's at Eldorado and a really neat crevicing tool from nearby gold fields. Right up there with gold nuggets.
