A friend of mine called up and wanted to get out detecting in the desert somewhere so I gathered up my stuff and off we went with no particular destination in mind. I remembered a spot from when I was arrowhead hunting many years ago that had rusty stuff showing here and there, so that's where we headed.
Things looked a lot different than I remembered and wasn't sure we were in the right spot, but within 5 minutes I spotted this little obsidian point. Yep, this is the place!

A little calf started following my friend around almost immediately, and continued to follow him for quite some time. Kinda funny!

We ended up with a nice pile of rusty stuff, but not a single coin. Oh well, it was a nice change of scenery.

The mother of pearl button is a new one on me, never have seen that style before. And the hemispherical ceramic piece is a mystery also. It isn't broken and has metal in it.


This piece is a mystery also.


The cartridges are a 30 W.C.F. and two of 44 W.C.F.

I spotted this ceramic piece with a hallmark to hopefully get a timeframe of this spot.

It looks like somebody camped here in the 50's or 60's? These were all in a bunch.
