Wild horses,research,and silver

[carcur]

went to a place i found on a 1890,s map found some cool stuff and a couple of coins
i haven't really got into the research thing but it is a great feeling to find someplace on a map do the goggle overlay go and find the spot and actually find something
the merc was on top of the ground kinda strange got a little blip walking thru the bushes off to the side and looked down and saw the back of the merc was very surprised
the third pic is the spring where whatever was here was around dont think this has been MDed before found two nickles in the foreground one was a 53
fourth pic the thing in the middle is a locket
thanks for looking and good luck

I am interested in MD. I still don't know what kind I want. I have a budget of less than $400.00 for my first one, If I like it and find stuff, than maybe I will upgrade later. I live in Elko NV. so I know there are lolts of places around the state that probably have never been MD, any suggestions on my first one and are there any clubs in northern nevada that MD as a group?

Nice Merc and relics. That pic of the sun kinda looks like the fire mountain in Lord of the Rings...lol. Good luck on your next hunts there...

Beautiful pictures. Those horses look pretty darn healthy... Is that a Chinese coin in the second to last pic.? Those shell casings are awesome, too! I look forward to seeing what else you find there....

Instead of hijackin a thread, make your own and at the least introduce yourself before asking questions. I reckon that'd be the polite thing to do.

Real nice pictures.
The second from the bottom is that a coin from Japan?

[Labyrinth]

Great Hunt ! Congrats, I love the smell of that shage brush that the horses are in.

WTG Curtis!
NICE! That is my kind of hunting!! Part of the reason I like detecting is it gets u out and about to places u never knew about. Great Photos, the horses are beautiful.
Silver to boot! good luck, b careful!

[sailormike]

Great pics and some nice stuff. I'm jealous, getting to spend some time out in a beautiful place. I especially like the sunset pic as well
Thanks for sharing.

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

good research! its paying off already!

[Robo99]

Nice job, I love using the old topo maps and trying to find places no one has detected before. Looks like a promising spot for you with beautiful scenery to boot. win, win!

[gekrueger]

great finds that looks like carson valley is it?
get some crazy sunsets from tahoe there

[Gauntlet]

I don't think I'd get any detecting done. I'd be too busy taking-in the scenery

Congrats on the finds!

[zeemang]

Good job on the research and the first finds from the site! Cool to see wild horses...

[Jamflicker]

Nice finds and glad to see your research paid off.

Hijacking a thread? The guy is new and he saw someone who detects near him so he asked a couple of questions. Is there some unwritten rule here that you must introduce yourself and open a new thread before you post.
