After a beautiful hike seeing deer, elk and antelope with friends stopped by a ghost town site for an hour Saturday. Short hike in and cross the creek then turn on detector and have fun. I have been here before and so have others. One of my first target years ago was a ATH "diggers" token so they have even been there. But put the time in and dig odd signals and always something to find. Couple horseshoes. Then a couple headstamps, then nice Velvet Grip clip. And another. Been finding many of these this year in Montana and Arizona. Velvet Grip was popular out west. The clips have patent dates of 1895 & 1899. Then after digging another headstamp get a nice signal in same spot. I like when other pass up headstamps. Fun to find and never know what it may be hiding underneath. My first fire department button. Manufacturer out of Chicago was open 1883-1911. Another overall button from the area. Then wonderful eagle button. Info from back dates this from 1893-1902. Still some gilt on it. My second eagle button from this site. I was more than happy with these finds from pounded site. I'll go back again this summer.
