    Did you scrape the dirt? Indians would often cache a bunch of them in a hole to be used or worked later so you might want to go out and look carefully, maybe even probe a little with a thin steel rod.

    I'm in shape (round) and made it up. It was tiring for sure, but I'm pretty live pretty sedentary (video games, no gym membership) and we hiked up the mountain from Estes Park East Portal campground into Glacier basin, rode the bus into the park proper and switched buses and rode to the bear lake trailhead. Then up to emerald with only a break near each lake along the way.
    The first day we made half the hike into glacier basin to get acclimatized to the hiking at altitude. Slept in the campground, then up and in the second day, rode all the buses to see the park, then the 3rd day we hiked to the top. You can also pay a couple bucks a person at the visitors center in Estes Park to ride the bus in so you don't have to buy a timed parking pass as well. We did that one day as well. I wore a backpack and carried a couple gatorades and about a gallon of water between 3 containers, and some trail snacks in a small bear proof container.

    I do know I have American Indian in me. Just enough to make some people speak Spanish to me. I've been told by me grandfather before he passed away, he thinks Comanche but not 100% sure. He's gone now unfortunately so I can't ask.... my god do I miss that man........
    I found two more. The one one right is the first one. The other 2 i found toady. I have 1962 silver dime and a @kdmax sticker for reference. ....


    @TWTaco ....... Still need a Voltage bump for my AGM battery................





    I'll be 46 June 1st and have never found one of these... and I do look!

    I'd be using a 1/2 inch screen and sift the dirt that's being moved around. I'd bet that for every one you find there are ten more just under the surface.

    I think this was actually two trees that grew together - there was bark on the insides of the two C shaped stumpy bits. Toe for scale
    IMG_2638.jpg
    and just cuz I think they’re cool - trilliums. When they first bloom they’re solid white then they turn pink as they age

    Triliums are Ontario, Canada's official flower, and it's actually illegal to pick them here. We plant them in our front garden, and they are quite prevalent in the woods here.

    Beautiful flowers
