Baja Peninsula Mexico

[mannings]

Hey y'all.

I am heading to Mexico, south of San Felipe about midway down to Puertocitos. I'll be there for 60 days with no agenda but to relax and see where life takes me.

I will be well equipped while there (baja truck, side-by-side, two boxes, etc).

Any leads would be greatly appreciated. I have read (very little) about the San Isabel Mission, but know like nothing about it.

Gracias,

Mannings

The fabled baja missions there (~1600 to ~ 1700's) have been the topic of much lore and history . Not un-like our alta CA missions . And I'm sure they've been clobbered many times by md'rs . Esp. the several that are nothing left but some crumbling walls out in the remote desert .

But the Mexicans are more into cache hunting , not coin hunting . So you never know . A buddy of mine hit one of the more northern ones (within 1 or 2 hrs of the border ), and got a Spanish reale .

Good Luck. !

Thanks Tom. I too am more interested in cache hunting than md'ing for isolated finds. I have recovered in the southern part of Chihuahua (copper canyon) but haven't investigated Baja.. looking fwd to the journey even if it turns up nothing but dirt.
