Another great trip to the Wells Nevada area. It was hot but from what I was told not quite as hot as the first part of the event. We went back to the area I found the gold coin in June and hit it hard for 3 days. No more gold but I did manage to find an 1843 seated dime. We spent some time working around where the RR had been active nearby and pulled 3 Lincon cents and the Reilly's smoke shop/lunchroom token from Buhl Idaho. The last day we moved a few miles north and found another camp area where we found many relics along with the spur and interesting lock part, I have posted a photo of. Detectors used Nox 800 with the stock 11" coil and one day with the Coiltek 5x10. A Deus1 and a Simplex.
Not counting the Ghost Towns here is still an amazing amount of area to be searched. We plan on returning one more time before the snow flies. I'm also looking forward to the next group hunt maybe in the Winnemucca area. There is so much around there not to mention some nugget hunting. I plan on doing some trips there in the next year. It is 3 hours closer to home! Thanks again Monty.
