My son and I set out this morning looking for an old mining camp that we discovered some info on. After hiking up and down hills for a couple miles,we came upon where it SHOULD be...but no signs of a " booming mining camp". Well ,we decided to swing down the hillside,see if we could locate something. Well,the grass was wet with dew,and pretty doon my coil started to act up...pretty soon it was useless.
So we hesded back home,and I grabbed the Tejon. Next we hit a new area of an old stand by....again,lotta hiking,little finds. On the hike back yo the truck,saw a man with 2kids walking slong one of the stone walls carrying a detector. They saw us,so I asked how they did. Man said just saw a huge rattler with about 20 rattles,and we dug some cool square nails...oh,and I think I found part of a gun. GUN!??? Let me see...sure as shit,swinging a good old discovery bounty hunter detector,dude found a derringer,minus barrel. I was happy for him!! heres the pic
