Ever wonder what you'd find metal detecting at a late 1800's, abandoned ranchers cabin, 100's of miles from anything? We'll here ya go! Here's some off the grid silver and the journey of how we got there, which included crossing a 32 degree river! So cold, but so worth it! I'd put money on it that we were the first to set foot on this site in at least 75 years!

Hard core detecting is the only way to go. If you don't get banged up, frozen, blisters, cuts, and bruises you're just not trying hard enough. You fellas laid it down man and made it happen. Thanks for the video Bud, always enjoyable

That coin would buy a lot of batteries or a really good pair of waders. LOL :occasion14:

Awesome- 1 of only 10,500! That coin should be worth 10 times what it lists for, but it's a rare and great find nonetheless!
