Another Old Camping Spot In The Desert Gives Up Some Treasure!

[oldmxrat]

Went out on my dirt bike in the morning scouting for old fire rings and such. Found a promising looking spot and returned in my truck in the afternoon. Started right off finding several wheat cents, then a war nickel. A few more wheaties and then pulled this cool Sterling Indian Chief ring!

It looks like one's I used to see in the roadside curio shops in Arizona when I was but a lad.
Also scored what I believe is a WW1 Coast Artillery lapel emblem, an aluminum bling ring missing the shank, a brass tag, a Revlon lipstick tube, and a key. The wheats are all '40's and '50's. Not a big spot to hunt so I was really happy with the finds.

I'm really liking this Southwest desert hunting!

Congratulations on your success
Great post with great detail.
Unfortunately with the snow last night it will be awhile before I can get out there
I enjoy seeing all your recoveries.
Your off to a great start

Nice! When I was out in Arizona for a trip. I was thinking man I would love to have my detector with me.

Very cool ring! Most war nickels we find on this coast are P, mint- nice to see that giant S! Any early S mint wheats in that group?

Finding the old wheat pennies is way better than finding new pennies IMO
Congrats on the finds

Most of the wheats, and silvers, that I find are SF mint.
