Not a bad day

[Texas Yankee]

Went out for a third time in a week and found all these goodies. For some reason all i keep finding is Liberty Nickel's. I think back then the miners were paid with nickels lol in this old mining ghost town. I thought my buddy was stretching the truth when he first told me that they had found some liberty nickels in the desert, but every time we go to this place i always find some liberty's, all within at least fifty yards from each other, with the exception today. I found two about 8" from each other. My buddy actually found the first one and then i found the next two. Does anyone have any idea why i keep finding nickels in this old mining town? Oh, almost forgot 4 Indians heads but thats it.























Each picture of the liberty's were found on different days with the exception of the 1892 which I added with the bunch. On that day it was the only one i found.

Old mining town's had two, maybe three things that cost the miners only a nickel. A cigar and beer and maybe.......

There is a good probability of finding a token or two there also.

Maybe it was a cache that had been scattered over time.

Hard to say why they keep showing up, but the dry desert is sure nicer to those nickels then our soil here.
