A few relics from an 1850's fort site.

[Dan(NM)]

I met up with a couple of T-netters today for a relic hunt at a fort that was occupied from the early 1850's to the early 1860's, unfortunately Jimzz had to cut his hunt short due to a plumbing problem. He did manage to score a couple of nice relics before he had to head out. I started out using the CTX, but, due to the excessive amount of iron, I ended up using the Equinox which performed wonderfully. This was my first time to hunt here, so, I wasn't sure what to expect, but, it turned out better than I thought. Ended up with a nice assortment of finds, the better ones were the Eagle button and the medallion thing with the guys face on it. Not sure, but, we think it may have had a ribbon attached through the eyelets on each side. I believe next time I'm back, I'll use the 6" coil on the Eqhinox to try and work through the iron a little easier than the 11"

Way to go Dan ! Love those age-indicators from west coast fort outposts. Kinda evokes the "wild wild west" Spaghetti western nostalgic image
