Just got back from my excursion around the state. Hit up every single ghost town I could find. Of course some ghost towns were better than others but here is my story!!
We start off in a mining town known for its silver!
Forgot to take photos of this town so with help from google, here are some photos. Didn't find much at this location because the whole place was vandalized and littered with soda cans and iron. However those kilns are way cool and I did make off with two ivory buttons located at the bottom right of the following picture.
All along the way I was sampling parks and ghost towns for future reference because I just didn't have enough time to spend half a day at each site. I went to a total of at least a dozen ghost towns and a dozen out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere city parks.
In one of the parks, I stumbled across a bottle dump and had to refrain from digging up the baseball park. I did find a nice horseshoe!!
In the above photo, I found lots of stuff. I was pretty pleased with what I took away. Some of the notable things I found were: 1916D wheat cent, bullet fragments and even two 2 ringers.
I got the opportunity to participate in an archaeology workshop at one of the ghost towns.
I also stopped by several yard sales and I bought a vintage backgammon set my mother has been searching for and a nice hand blown bottle I really liked.
Other fun times include:
frogs
Don't know if I would trust a pie made like that...
So here is the overall pic with all of the finds again. Again, with only spending 30 mins to an hour at each site, I was pleased with my finds. Favorite things are horseshoe, bullets, shattered dinnerware, wheat cent, and bottle.
Thanks for looking!! Looking forward to going back to the town that had the wheatie and bullets. I've also made a huge list of things to do for next time.
Cheers!
