Cornelius;
My uncle found a cache, many years ago, with a detector, in what was once a Chinese gold miner's camp, in southern BC. He was told the location had been gone over, many times, and no one had found anything of value.
Where he found the coins, was in a depression (probably once was a cellar,) in the depression, he found a ceramic ginger jar, full of the coins.
In BC, there is no historical record of routing of Chinese miners, so, what may have happened was, an accident or illness, perhaps the very owner of the cache. Being very superstitious, they would have abandoned the camp, with what they could carry.
I am referring to statements made, by BC Historian, Bill Barlee, who has expounded on the superstitious abandonment theory, often.
