Our first day here was terrible given what you'll see in the video, but the second day was beautiful and quite a few nice finds were made.

Brian, that looks a little uncomfortable, but I would be out there with ya. What state was that? I didn't quite hear the audio because of the hurricane that was passin thru. Did the sand ruin any of the detectors or just make them an ounce or two lighter?

Looks like you are on a Nuke hunt I am glad I missed the trip maybe Crosby will take me on a more mellow ghost town hunt?

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!

Man...that looks like something right out of some sci-fi movie!
You guys find anything?

That was in central Nevada. At one point I was down retrieving a target and looked up and was in the middle of a white out, couldn't see ten feet in front of me, very odd feeling.

Quite a few nice finds were made - seated dime, key date barber dime, indian heads, several tokens, walker half, 1908 $5 gold piece (found sifting, and unfortunately not by me), lots of relicky thingies.

I was using my F75 LTD, she did well hunting in iron so thick you'd think someone saw us coming and piled it on!

Would love to see a photo of that 1908 yellow coin.

Welcome to the West!
That looked like a good day in the desert. Not to hot!
Those are the kind of hunts that make memories.

Here it is, still in the sifter basket before the lucky finder even touched it:

Pass the toilet paper.....lol..........on seeing that beauty. I sifted once..did real well. But nothing like the awesomeness in above picture. Congratulations to everyone. Sounds like it was a killer outing.

VERY nice! The highlight of a detectorists career. Glad you captured a photo at that very specific moment. I find: .........one little.............two little...............three little Indians..................but never the Chief.
