Ancient Treasure Found inside a 1850s gold mine! While filming at Lost Dutchman’s Mining Association’s Duisenburg Camp near Randsburg, California, a simple drift mine visit turned into a mystery from the past. Executive Director of Operations Dominic Ricci shares the story of this historic gold mine, which was worked on in the 1850s by Chinese miners, and how a modern LDMA paydirt excavation exposed a broken yellow jade carving hidden deep inside the drift. This mysterious piece may have traveled with one of those miners as a family keepsake or good luck charm and could be many generations old. In this video, we: • Walk into the high-desert drift mine at LDMA Duisenburg • Talk about how members recover gold paydirt in this Mojave Desert gold field • Take a close look at the yellow jade carving and the details that might link it to Chinese workers in the 1800s • Ask for help from viewers who know Chinese jade art, symbols or history If you study Chinese jade, Asian archaeology, or the history of Chinese gold miners in California, I would love to hear your thoughts on this artifact in the comments. ➤ Subscribe for more gold mining history, ghost towns, and relics: History Seekers on YouTube @HistorySeekers ➤ Learn more about LDMA and their camps: Https://www.MyLDMA.com ================= 🛠️ Shop Our Online Store – Trusted Gear & Expert Support 👉 Browse top-rated metal detectors & accessories: 🔗 https://www.HistorySeekers.net 📞 Call us at 256-284-2247 Ask about our History Seekers Specials — (📦 Every detector purchase includes FREE expert phone support) #historyseekers #goldmining #LDMA
