A few relics from a WW1 training camp dumpsite.

[Dan(NM)]

Jimzz977, myself and a really nice gentleman from Az, Jack, headed out to a WW1 training camp to hunt the dump. There's not a whole lot in the way of coins, but there are some nice relics left to find. Jack found a 1911 barber dime, a couple of cuff buttons and a WW1 dog tag. Jimmy found some buttons and he also found a WW1 dog tag, hopefully he'll post a pic of it here after he cleans it. I used the CTX, open screen, 2 tone ferrous and high trash with auto sens along with the 6" coil. That setup seemed to work very well among all the trash and there was plenty of it.

I dug out a few cool relics, but, no coinage today, still had a great time hunting with 2 fellow detectorist.

Jack's a really nice guy and one of the luckiest to boot.

Sounds like taking Jack out with you has created good Karma. You never know when it will come back around.

Jack also found 2 1/4 Mexican reales from the mid 1800's at another site last week

I'll take luck every time . It truly was luck. The only reason I hunted that spot a second time was because I had run back t the truck for batteries.

A big thank you to you and Jimzz977 for taking an out of town detector under your wing and making my visit to Las Cruces more memorable. I hope karma rewards you both with great finds!

Some of the most enjoyable hunts I have had are with locals I've met on the road. This is a great hobby full of good people.

I went out yesterday for a short time and hunted that trashy bank near the canal (where I found that chauffeurs badge) with a small coil. Picked up a sterling silver butter knife, but no coins.
