I've only been doing this for around 11 years, and I'd say seven or eight years ago, I was surprised when collectors would find someone in the back country, with a box of chips as a door stop, or something. Doug Siato would be a great example of this.
Now we move forward in time and people are still find more Unknown chips. I'm really amazed and the number of new finds, every year.
People who have been interested in this hobby for long before I could enter a casino legally, were digging out old chips 40 years ago.
All I can say, is keep em comming!

As it is in Ohio, Nevada still has some wonderful treasures of history to be found.
