💥💥 Abandoned town in the middle of nowhere, Somme beauty recoveries💥💥

[Jorgeke]

Yesterday, we went to MD to an abandoned town, kind of 1.5 hours driving from Chihuahua City.

During the Spain colony in Mexico people used to work in mines, they built their houses close to rivers at top of small hills areas, in that way, they can have water easily for them and their animals. Living at top of small hills was for safety reason, be protected from apaches attacks.

Nice area for MD due to those towns were abandoned I’m guessing more than 50 years ago and no easy that some people arrive there; Mexican thorn bushes is the challenge for swinging our metal detectors.

Any comments, questions are welcomed

I hope enjoy the photos

Interesting coin: 1914 Estado de Chihuahua 5 C 25mm copper.
A 'Revolution' era coin.
This coin came in three distinctive varieties and each variety had up to seven 'sub-varieties'. Your coin is differentiated from the other two types in that the left side of the "C" is rounded to the left. In the other two types, the 'C' is either pointed or oval shaped on the left.
Although I can't see it, the engraver's name--SALAZAR would be found on the obverse, below the radiance.
The coin's greatest value is as a tool (relic) to educate about the Mexican Revolution.
Don in SoCal.

That’s a great assortment of items: jewelry, silverware, buttons, pottery and coins. I enjoy days like that.

Blackfoot,

Thanks for commenting.

On my opinion, Fork was the best finding, we had found different types of forks, included some maded with silver, or old forks used by Mexican soldiers but never that small size.

Keep in touch, 👍🏽😎

Yes, that is a nice fork. I think maybe a pickle fork or olive fork. Small size and 3 tines. 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing. I especially like the 3-tine fork.

Yes, I’m iron man, I mean, the man who always find iron instead of gold or silver 🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣

Where are you located?

There are se eral good spots here in the area for hunting, but not easy to get there. Most of the time are private properties and we do need to find owners for permission

Keep in touch 😎
