BIG COPPER, Texas Style!!!!!!!

[tymcmurray]

I went to Texas for the holiday, and took the detector!
I got a chance to research the mountains around El Paso and was lucky
enough to find a turn of the century military map that gave the locations
of mountainside outlook posts. So I got out at sunrise and started trying
to find an exact location on the closest post.



This was my area to search.

After climbing 6 different peaks, lucky number 7 paid off.
The pictures tell the rest of the story.
