Made up a little display of some of the keepers found in various motherlode gold camps. A couple cool facts, the lead tag in here with a cerial number barely made its way out of my pocket but about 3 months after finding it I decided to clean it up and behold the words trails wagon. Upon some research I found it to be a "vin" number from an 1870s happy trail wagon. The other item I almost through away is the the pipe like item which I assumed was nothing important but upon reading a relic book I found it is the mouthpiece to an 1850s leather shot pouch, anyways can't wait to get some goodies this year. Thanks for looking MG
