Yesterday was a bummerhead of a day!!! I worked hard too for 5 hours and only came away with 12 coins. One was a token the other, a 48 wheat. So today I headed north, going to Walsenburg, giving KC a deserved rest. Walsenburg's a small town about 35 miles north of Trinidad, CO. There's an old school there with a fenced in football field. The school district keeps it locked but I happen to know the maintenance men! :) I got there at about 6am and began hunting with the SE. After 4 hours of non-stop swinging I only had 40 or so clad-lincolns, a bullet and junk. So, with my swing arm getting a little tired I switched over to Mr. Cortes. He's easy to walk with. :) In the pics you will notice all the trash. All but the nail and (ONE) pull tab came from Miss SE! Cortes is hot on coins for sure but I didn't find a single nickel with him. I was useing the Notch Wide switch and DISC set at FOIL. The nail and pull tab were located at 9 inches or better!!! Strange, I didn't find one single bit of jewelry or interesting nit-bit except for the obviously fired 9m/m bullet???

Thanks,
GRB

Thats a lot of diggin' GRB! It doesn't look like anyone has been there in a while since all the coins are discolored. Thats a nice collection of aluminum too....


Keep safe and keep diggin'...
 
GRB, I think your pic in the middle should be a contender for "best junk finds" of the year so far... ;D ;)

If you're digging tabs at 9, forget about the oldies. They're out of range.

I know KC let you down, but don't write it off yet. Same thing happened to me at a park nearby. I wrote it off for a while, went back and made some more amazing finds!!!

Go get'em next hunt!!!

I detest leaving any signal unanswered. :)
