From about 1890 to 1930 the suburban hill that I live on was the home of 2 very active mines, Beadling and Essen. I spent about 2 1/2 hours this weekend at a miners homesite lost in the park woods adjacent to my home. No cellar hole, no stacked stones, a pile of bricks from the chimney and overgrown myrtle ground cover and some surface pottery are the only signs that a home once stood here.
Found a handful of miners tags, 15 total. These are common around here, but 3 was my record in one hunt until this weekend.
No coins, but I dug a 5 cent beer token.
Here is a handful of relics, including my first skeleton key of the year.
This is the first whistle I have dug with a cork ball still inside. Cleaned it up and it works like new, extremely loud.
I think this is a lady’s sash buckle.
Not sure what the silver washed relic is.
And this would have been essential for the miner living here, a miners light.
And of course a spoon and harmonica reeds
Good luck out there!
