Another Day in the Arizona Desert

[oldmxrat]

Went to a new spot that I found on satellite images. Couldn't tell how old of a site it was until I got there. Looks like it was occupied from around 1910-1960.
The only coins I found were some 'melted' zincolns, no doubt from somebody camping there 40 years ago.
Must be a good dove/quail hunting spot from all the shotgun headstamps I found.

The little rectangle on the left was a tootsietoy utility trailer.

Not sure what this is:

The zincolns are the size of a nickel.

Some kind of little charm or something:

The monsoons from a few weeks ago really greened things up out here!

Old foundations:

Well, nothing very exciting, but I did get two marbles! (I always like finding them)

That was a lot of casings/ shells you dug. The scenery is beautiful. Better luck on the digs next time out.

What's the little coin with the hole?
The scrap brass pile is smiling.

Congrats! That's a lot of findings from a heck of a cross section of goings ons.

Great trip.
Anyone else get drawn to that lone image on the hillside in the last picture and zoom in on it?
Is it a joshua tree?

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

A great looking place to be - surprised you didn't make any older finds !

 

[mtdoramike]

Looks like someone was doing a lot of shooting, there may have been an old homestead around there.

 

[DizzyDigger]

Now this is an odd item to find there....looks like a barrel connector for
cable, like as used in cable TV. Seems a bit modern for the site. Is
it hollow inside? If so, maybe a gas line connector/adapter?

Yeah, I was just thinking it might be time to switch things up a big and start nugget shooting!

I have no idea what that is, was hoping someone on here would know.

Thanks Chilli, yep, joshua tree.

 

[oldmxrat]

Yep, hollow. It's a male pipe to flare fitting. There's trash here from 1910 to last week!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Marbles are always good !

Yes , Also Occupied from 1910 to 1960 will be home to a lot of Silver coins , as 1964 was the end , I saw a lot of clad in your pile from the 80s , go deeper you hit Silver . Silver is priced high now , after you pull all the trash out , go deep , grid one area clean the trash , clad -- than go for the silver , looks like a great spot , nuggets & Silver , happy hunting ! I would spend at least a week there, good luck PS Don't forget your pointer for the small nuggets ! Knee high Rattle Snake Boots a must bro .👌
