Early 1900's Miners House Dig Lots of rusty treasure!
Relics off an early 1900's mine site. House was a camp site for 3 miners that worked an iron mine. They would hike halfway down and stay here for the night. It was carved into the side of a hill and the entrance was covered with dirt. They kept an oven cot's and standard supplies. Was told the story about this house from my grandfather that claimed he would be the only one to still know it even exited today. Can't wait to get back up there for more!
I know some of you enjoy the rusted junk that comes along with the good stuff so Ive taken pictures of them all. Spent about 5 hours digging. Enjoy
Also found this at a different site. My detector told me it was at 2 inches and long story short ended up being 8 inches. I first thought it was a hunk of junk. some small glimmers from areas and the weight is almost 100 grams. Compared to a every nail in the pictures below + the 2 smaller train track nails combined is less then 100 grams. The "back" side seems to be another kind of mineral stuck to the "front" side and had a few 6 sided crystals that went to a point on top these fell out when i washed it off and only realized it by catching 1 in a glass. the holes are still visible. Any ideas?
