Digging for Relics!


As anyone who knows my Mother is aware, she's very much into history! Living in a ghost town has provided her an opportunity to dig for relics.  Amazingly, she found a 125 year old Chinese coin on her property and had it made into a ring for Stacy a while back. It turns out that during the Silver rush of the 1890's, the Chinese were brought in as laborers, and their encampment was exactly where she lives today! Mia & Aubrey enjoyed working the metal detector and digging.  They unearthed several nails, a spoon, and part of a harmonica from the 1800's.  A very cool experience for them...
