We headed out to an old campsite today with the X-Terra 705’s. The area was used for school camps as far as I’m aware and was still in use until about 15 years ago. Today all the buildings have been removed and there is a lot of trash left lying on the ground. It didn’t take long for the coins to start turning up though, usually concentrated in small patches.
All that for about $6 in change with a 1951 penny thrown in. Picked up a few random things among the trash. Round button (top left) looks to be gold plated, it was a solid 18 on the X-Terra.
I was on the way back to the car when I got a nice sharp 42 on the road leading in. The tag was a good 7 inches down, below the driveway gravel buried in the dirt. I’ve only given it a quick wash under water so it’s in nice condition for its age. You can see my collection of dog registration tags here.
We barely covered a tenth of the site due to the amount of trash and the need to move slow to discriminate targets. We’ll head back to this site in a while but there are a couple of old farmhouses we have permission to check out so we are off there next.
