Here are my latest finds from a spot I've been hunting over the past few weeks. Am only able to get on the site after hours when it is not being used so my hunt times are usually not long. Included in one grouping is a small sterling ring I found, not old but still silver. What I seem to be finding on this site are small camp/tent areas where there are a few bullets dropped. When I find the first one I try to circle that area carefully and usually end up finding anywhere from 4 to 8 in the close vicinity. Unfortunately I believe the main part of the camp was destroyed and bulldozed when the large public building on the site was constructed many years ago. I hate to think what was lost! I think I am up to about 2 dozen bullets of various calibers so far, mainly Sharpes ringtails. Found a half dollar last week but it was a bicential dropped recently and not the 1800's coin I wish it were.
