In Idaho, I found opium vials in the ruins of mining camps where Chinese supplied the labor. In Colorado, wonderful graffiti carved on aspens by the Peruvian shepherds who herded sheep up there in the summer, and a 1914 Nash touring car. In New Mexico, .45-70 carbine rounds and .30-40 cartridges, as well as a curved steel butt plate from who knows what. Also, a cave with really old arrows, and sandals woven from beargrass, yucca or some other fibrous material.
Modern day finds (courtesy of our undocumented workers from south of the border): red patent leather high heels, a bikini top, a hair dryer, a red wig, a pair of polka dot jockey shorts about size 50, and tons of trash...
