Finally found a town that isnt covered in snow for the first hunt of 2011.
2 trade tokens are for 10 cents and a dollar in merchandise.
(Fronts not shown, dont want the scavangers finding my spots)
Also 2 Silver Rosies and some Wheats.
It is a small town in Utah.
If I took a pic of the front there would be 20 peeps there tomorrow!
It has happened before.
Trust me, its not a pretty sight.
The problem with metal detecting in the western US is that it was settled much later than the midwestern and eastern US.
It also has a lower population density.
In other words, you cant just walk out into a field around here and have a shot at finding something from the 16 or 1700s, or much of anything really.
A find from the 1840s or 50s here (at least in my area) would be comparable to a 1600s find in the east.
