i needed to post seperately here due to having

dial up only out here in the stix.

i made a post b4 on the reg hunts page and it froze

every time i tried to load it.

i arrived a bit early for 2 pre hunts.

the one pic of me n soup i am holding

a very bent spoon and a large copper fitting

which were about all that was found in pre hunt 1.

pre hunt 2 poduced a wheat and a period pin

of a victorian lady.

friday we went to the ghost town . wow exciting

my first stop was behind an old house

where i stomped down the weeds under an old

clothes line pole set. heh heh this is gonna score.

but nothin. finally the palmolive token real deep.

we moved more to the town center.

silver is being found but not me. geez.

managed the copper radio faceplate

2 indians 5 wheat.

sat iz the race track got a wheat.

back to ghost 1/2 day coins but still no silver

another 7 wheat 1 indian no silver grrrr.

sunday we were starting later

some had already departed. the rest were off to the

race trak for another try.

i missed the bus by 10 min and it changed

everything.

juan and etrac 007 were still at the alternate site

when i arrived. we visited a half hour.

after they left im leisurely detecting.

under a big dandelion there it izzzzzz

geez it seemed so unreal here in manicured grassland.

and i was out there in the wild ghost town

and couldnt break silver.

hmmm well one got missed here n i found it.

a bit later a 1916 barber dime in great shape wow.

things were looking much better.

post hunt spent the day in the rain while soup rested

right back to the areas that had produced silver

this is gonna be easy...... no silver just clad.

post hunt 2 found a 1841 seated dime to complete my grand slam on dimes.

in reviewing my humble pennie finds from the ghost town
