My find of the day.

[Ken from Atlanta]

Went out around Olympia with Rich (can't remember your screen name sorry)from the t-net, and hunted some old house sites, and a park today. This was my very first first signal of the day, a 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition coin from the "Petroleum Exhibit". The fine print on the back reads: "A Dollar Spent for Petroleum Products Never Stops Circulating. It Pays for Wages, Taxes, Materials and Brings Countless Benefits to Every Business". I also got a tootsie truck and a handful of clad, so not a bad day at all!

I thought about cleaning, but it's brass and the lettering is so fine on the back I don't want to lose any of it, any ideas?

I'd love to get up to Grisdale, but I really want to go just about a mile or so down the road from the camp. There is a wrecked steam locomotive in the river near there that I really want a look at. Have a look at this : http://www.brian894x4.com/RingofFire.html

pickings seem slim down here though so I'd like to get out and hunt some other places as well, I'm going to try to hit an old ghost town or two that I have found.

Oh ya the train from the movie the ring of fire, I've been down in that canyon and seen the train but that was about 25 years ago. I would be lucky to find it again, but I am game if you are.

pm me your email and I will send you some scans of photo's I have of the train.

This area is mostly virgin territory have only ran into one other detectorist here.
