Bottles and Gold Seekers Spread Through Panama Trail
The Las Cruces and Porto Bello trails in Panama were once overland routes for Spanish and later gold seekers. Bottle hunters uncover old bar dumps, coins, and relics as the Canal Zone hosts a growing collector scene with auctions and club gatherings. The era’s rich history lures hobbyists to dig sites from Chagres to Old Panama and Panama City.
