A Few Relics from a Basque Sheep Camp

[oldmxrat]

Got tired of doing chores and needed to get away for a few, so I threw my detector in the SxS and went up the mountain by my house to an old sheep camp.
It's a really tough spot to hunt because it's a popular target shooting spot, but I managed to squeak out a 1919-s wheatie, a thimble, and a tent rope tensioner.

Nothing spectacular, but way more fun than doing chores!

I've found quite a few of those tensioners over the years and decided to clean this one up on the wire wheel.

Your coin finds kill me every time. Almost all your coins are S mint marked! We don’t find S mint coins here in the Midwest often enough. Very scarce in fact.

I like that Honda Talon. That's cool

... you just reminded me of a story my dad used to tell... as a kid traveling to Basque sheep camps by wagon with his granddad in Idaho, early 20's... his earliest memory, Thanks!

Yep, that's one of the only priveleges we have over the east coast
