Hi Everybody!
Here are a few interesting things (to me anyway) that I found in a wash near a Chinese railroad workers camp from the 1870s. The site has lots of huge rusty buckets and cans, but the great disc on the Compadre made it somewhat manageable. I was able to get a great signal on the baby spoon even with all the rusty iron underneath and surrounding it. The license plate says CAL 30, so I assume that was the actual year of the plate? The shotgun brass is from 1901-1919. I'm using the Compadre as a back-up as my Vaquero is on the way home from being serviced. Definitely going back with the Vaquero!
