Default Camping Finds
Nothing to write home about...

But, at least I got to do some detecting!

We took off 3 days to do some camping. I took the Tesoro with us, but gee, the Missouri River is flooded! No beach in sight! So I had to detect the nearby campsites.

Here's some pics. The campground seems to have been established in the 1970's. Couldn't find any old coins.

Our favorite campsite 48e

Vlad fishing in the secret spot. caught a Walleye here.

View of the Missouri River from a nearby hill

Not much for finds, but once the water goes down we'll be going back.

Thanks for acknowledging my meager finds guys!

Most of the coins wound up being found near the defunct restrooms. There was 2 pocket spills in the grass.

Yeah, we caught 6 fiddlers there, a humongous carp, a drum, and a walleye.

Here's one of the cats

This is a drum right?
