Admin nuggethunting Posted October 10, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hello All, After a weekend of field instructions, I need a little bit of time on my own to swing the GPX5000. I found a couple interesting relics, one being an old tape measure and the second being a Old English Tobacco container. The date on the back of the Tobacco container says, "made in USA, 1890." Both of these items were found within some old placer workings besides the pick tips, boot tacks, wire and other iron rubbish that you normally find. I also ended up with a few nuggets too boot for the weekend. Take care,Rob Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDeep Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Cool Rob, The relics are in pretty good shape for being over a 120 years old. Got some good looking nuggets too.DigDeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
