had a few minutes to head out to a local AZ ghost town. Vulture, AZ. spent about an hour detecting around several old buildings, a 2 hole outhouse, a 2 room house and the old school house. Finds where several pennies, a 2007 quarter (go figure) and a bullet that was a real surprise! .54 Caliber Merrill Carbine bullet. Finding this west of the Mississippi is quite rare.
