We lit out at dawn last Sat and went to an old copper mining area about 2 1/2 hours away. Here's the huge open pit mine at Morenci, Az.

The towns are pretty much in narropw canyons - clifts nearby so it's hard to find any places to detect that are not concrete. I had researched the area a lot ands it just didn't pan out for railroad items & old coins. Part of the reason was the frequent rains like this one.

In twpo dasys wI detected a bunch of parks & a few schools and dug 197 coins & a lot of junk jewelry.

My one neat piece I got is this heart pendant. The stones are cZ - as is stamped onm the back - the base meqatal is stamped 925 and it's plated with gold. The jeweler said the dark stones looked like sapphires. Not a reral expendsive find but surely a beautiful designed one. We had a fun time even tho we didnt get the RR stuff. Next trip !!

Now you can just add one of your spare chains that you've dug and have a nice necklace!
