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.
The winner? We declared a tie.....
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.
