So I had seen an old photo from the 30's that showed a miner's shack just on the outskirts of town. I recognized the mountains in the background so I decided to go see if I could find the spot.
I think I found the location, as there were cans and glass, and found a few old things. The only coins were a 1944-s cent and a 1941 nickel.
It wasn't a very big area and even going low and slow I had covered the place well in just over an hour.
But, while walking back to the truck I came across and old homeless camp. Looked like it hadn't been occupied in several years as all the clothes, blankets, backpacks, shoes, etc., were all decomposing.
My detector was going crazy with high tones, so I started digging those signals.
I ended up getting $8.62 in clad, as well as some random stuff, including a serviceable set of bolt cutters.
The item in the upper-right is a flash-bang hand grenade fuse! Maybe he had a trip wire setup at one point.
Anyways, that's the most clad I've found in one hunt in quite awhile, and it's all clean (and no dog💩 on my shoes
)!
Okay, back to the researching for new spots.
