Been "HOT" and rainy, and got out to do some old coin shooting. Did manage some nice finds.

Here are the best coin finds. The area I hunted was developed in the 40's, a post war boom.

Found this nice vintage lipstick tube. Nice art deco on it!

Lots of rain had raised the river level, covering up some good gold producing areas. This is my favorite combination of sluice bed matting....."Expanded aluminum over miners moss over vortex matting." This is my result from 3 hours digging by myself, and 2 hours digging with my buddy.

I dug up this really old quartzite stone spear point. An archaeologist validated it and said it was about 8,000 years old! Youzers......GREAT FIND!
