IN THE HIGH DESERT

[The Master Chief]

Hello this great forum. Well it has been a very long time since i posted some pics. Drove 25 miles west of the high desert, but I must say this was a great day. Maybe not the greatest in finds but it did pay for the batteries. $3.70 and i know there is more. Also I belive that i must have been the only person to metal detect there because some coins were just right on top of the ground. The oldest i found was a quarter 1965 and a dime 1966. rest of them averaged from 1977-1990's. Also one 2003 quarter. I posted the pics for your veiw. Good luck with your travels. kevin

Hi Kevin.... You went to the high desert? I always thought Ridgecrest was on the high desert? Its about 2300 feet high, and I come from Lancaster which is 2500 feet and is considered the high desert. Liked the photo of the area, it brought back memories of long ago. The last time I was in such an area was in the Tehachapi mountains, really nice to walk around up there. There is enough area to search for the rest of your life, finding the places people have camped or picknicked. Have never searched in the USA (learnt metal detecting in Europe) but will see next year when I visit the area (Antelope Valley) again.

Hi Kevin, I read your post in the Tech section. I don't know much about your detector. But I can say, I have hunted in some really, really bad soil and you need a detector you can ground balance. I am currently using a Fisher F75 to hunt at the Diggin In Va. soil. The soil is so has so much mineralization in it , that a normal detector without the ability to ground balance will not work in this soil.

I also raised my detector off the ground about 4 inches, lowered the sensitivity. I also hunt in all metal and use a headset.

Hope some of this info will help you. You might go to the Garrett section and ask guys who have a detector like yours for some help.

Best Regards,
Ringfinder

Maybe Meteorite! Received a comment in the What is it and basically I must agree. Possibley iron slag. But I will hold onto it and perform some other test. I would hate to throw it way just yet.
