I had a fun 3 days out in Nevada and it was good to meet some of you so I can put a face to a name. James and I started in Cobre on Thursday, I got skunked but James found 2 nice tokens. First token he found was Cobre Hotel and the other was a Hotel token from Jackson (I believe) California. I'll try and get him to send me some pictures and post them later. Both James and I used the Deus all day, he had the 5 x 9 coil I had the 9" round HF. I did pull out the Tesoro Bandido 2 for about 45 minutes.

Day two (Friday) we spent at Toano and within five minutes of arriving I found an 1887 IHP but that was it other than some interesting Ghost Town stuff. We both used the Deus all day.

As many of you know I like Military stuff and so does James. So on Saturday we took a chance and traveled to an undisclosed site that we believed had a camp. We were right and after obtaining permission from the property owner hunted until the rain started about 11:30 am. Since we had traveled so far we decided to wait the rain out, which lasted about 2 hours. While there we found many 50-70, 45-70 and .44 casings. James found 2 general service (GS)coat buttons. I found 1 GS cuff button,4 GS coat buttons, a Eagle I overcoat button and a bucket lister for me a very nice Eagle C overcoat button with lots of gold gilt left. Also found what we believe is the base to a model 1871 military dress hat (the flower looking brass piece. It was a great day! I used the Equinox 800 with the 11" coil, he used the Deus with the 11" coil.

On the way home Sunday I stopped at Shafter for a few hours and found a Colorado Tax Token using the Deus. Hey at least I found a token on the trip. Overall I had a great time and hope to get together with you all again in the future.
