Two Garrett Users Had An Excellent Hunt In The Woods While It Rained Yesterday :jump::jump:

[John-Edmonton]

It rained most of the day, so my buddy covered his GTI 1500 with a plastic bag, and I did nothing using my AT Gold. We both got some nice finds. Here are the old coins. There must have been a US traveller passing through Edmonton, as the two Indian Head pennies were found less then 12 inches from each other.

Got another one of these condom containers. We had a lot of young men passing through Edmonton during the Yukon Gold Rush on their way up north. Edmonton was a supply depot and also a Hudson Bay Fort Trading Post. Throw in some money, booze and women, and there you go.

Below are my finds, except for the fork, which my buddy dug up. There are some Interesting hall marks on the handle.

Great finds John. It's nice to be able to hunt in the rain with no worries.

Nice stuff there John! It's so cool to find the old U.S. coins in Canada, and I love the Vickie. Nice pile of goods.

I find lots of wheat pennies in Edmonton. I have just a pile saved.....don't know what I'll ever do with them. The ones in the 30's and older, I wrap up in those 2"x2"s.

Thanks Butch......I am trying to catch up to you.

In that day in age (Gold Rush days) were condoms made of rubber or sheep skin?

I pulled this off a site from a curator:
