  • Who knew.

    I knew that the targets were getting fewer. 6hrs of swinging

    I also knew that there should also be some older coins still hiding.

    And possibly some older bling as well.


    But who knew I would make a post because of a tourist gimmick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Potlatch
    Now for those of you who don't know the real Potlatch was actually outlawed by the Canadian government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potlatch_Ban
    I believe the 97 is for the1897 arrival of the steamboat Portland with its legendary "ton of gold". 97 also shows on some of the postcards. :thinking:
    As found and I thought nothing of it other than it looked older so I took a picture.

    First cleaning and I saw the date.

    Final cleaning and a registration number.
