I found an old ghost town, nothing left besides some foundations, old bottles and so on. Had a population of about 750 at it's peak. The homes were all owned by the mining company, there was a saloon, hotel and a school. There was also a church in the area which in no longer there, but I know the exact spot.
I have a good idea of the arrangement of the buildings, not sure where the hotel or saloon was yet though. Took my about 3 hours to find this place today so I only got to detect for about an house, didnt find anything good. Someone in the past was diggin bottles at this side, plastic bucket still in the hole.
Anyone ever hunt an area like this? Where should I concentrate my time? And do sites like this typically produce coins, these miners were pretty poor, and the mining company took rent and any purchases from the general store out of their pay.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks everyone!
