This little ghost town is easily accessible and pretty obvious so I really didn't expect to find much. I mainly wanted to get out and explore a little.
It was partly cloudy and 70'f, so perfect hunting weather.
This was a short-lived town from 1903-1908.
I rescued an old beer can,
a jar lid,
a pocket watch bezel,
two wheat cents (1947-s, 1948-s),
a couple of blank cartridges,
a .45 Colt shell,
a furniture caster,
a brass number plate,
some clothing fasteners,
a once-gold plated ring,
some kind of toggle switch thingy,
and a silver screw-back earring

The place is really trashy with lots of litter so it was pretty slow going and I only covered a small portion of the site.
I'll definitely be going back soon!
