| Recent Finds II |
On Nov. 24, 2007 I went metal detecting at one of the old Desert Strike Camps (circa winter of
1963/1964) north of the site of Bagdad. Other then a 3 pennies and one silver dime the most
interesting find were these six inert anti-personal bounding fragmentation land mines. Just
never know what you’re going to dig up next.

The gold on the left of the scale was found drywashing when I camped 4 days at the Lucky Nugget back in
May. Weight = 6.75 Grams.
The smaller pile on the right was the total found when I camped at the Lucky Nugget for 10 days in November.
Weight = 1.7 Grams.
Total weight for 14 days of camping 7.82 Grams. Guess from now on I'll only camp 4 days.

Cheri H. found this cash of sliver quarters on March 20, 2008, while digging in a can dump near
an old mine in the Dale District. There were 28 quarters dated between 1934 and 1952, plus one
Buffalo Nickel dated 1928. The coins were wrapped in the rag and stuffed inside a tobacco can.
Cool find.
