Here is a pic of an old kerosene lantern a friend and I found a few years back while on a ghost town hunting trip. It was down in Nevada in the Santa Rosa mountian range. We had stopped along a trail for a bite to eat. We did a little exploring around the area, and about seventy five yards away near a ridge we found a small miners shack. The lanten was hanging on a nail inside. It was very interesting looking around. There were picks, gold pans, a bunk, table, canned goods, etc. It looked like the miner just left one day and never came back. We figure that was about the late 1930's. Some day I may revisit the place.

If the shack is truly abandoned, go back and get those canned goods. Some of those old cans are valuable.

That's a cool old kerosene lamp. That shack would make a great detecting site.

treasures are not always found under the coil indeed that a good area to look for the buried loot the old geezers hid as they did not trust the banks.........
