Message:: [QUOTE="justforfun, post: 49057, member: 2739"]My best find is a little different.  I was up in British Columbia Cananda doing some camping in a remote area.  Up on the top of a mountain range in the late 1800's early 1900's the locals developed a horse race track.  Horses were brought from many countries and raced in this meadow in the top of the mountains.  There were also some buildings including a hotel that was developed.  When I was there, there was nothing left but a few footings.  I had a cheap metal detector with me and found a coin/medal that had been stamped with the letter "U" and a number.  In visiting with the locals, I was told that the coin would have been attached to a room key for the hotel, the "U" being the upper floor and the number would be the room number.  Interestingly enough, we also found an old ball and cap pistol. This was 20+ years ago, and though the coin likely has no monetary value, the best find was the memory made.[/QUOTE]
