Everyone hopes for one of these from a ghost town, but few are ever found

[Paul in WA]

Finally located a ghost town that I had been looking for. I didn't have much time to hunt because I spent a few hours locating it, but I did manage to find a boot spur. Everyone always wants to find boot spurs (and six shooters), but very few are ever found. I tried to find the other in the area of this one, but no luck. Weather permitting, I may return tomorrow and put more time into detecting instead of driving around. sorry for the poor pic quality, I was in a bit of a hurry.

Nice!!!
The next hunt will be even better.
Sounds like you did your research.

I try to do as much research as I can. 2 old apple trees cought my attention as a place where someone may stop to take a break & get out of the heat.....they must have taken their spurs off as well.

Yes, everybody does want a spur, me included. I don't think there are any here in Ohio.

Nice, I love it.

I can see a decorative pattern on it, but I haven't even rinsed it off yet.

Yup...that's a nice-looking spur, Paully.

That would be great to display somehow. Maybe in a riker frame with an old map of the ghost town in the background. 8)
