    I did a little camping and metal detecting with my friends Steve and Annie while in Arizona. Unfortunately, very little of the footage I took with them came out so it's mostly me you see. I hope you like the video.

    Was going through my junk metal from detecting (haven't gone through it since September) and came across a thin brass plate I saw some words on it and glad I kept it, it's a marine band harmonica made in Germany has a US patent Aug 24th 1897 there used to be an old store beside my house the person who owned it also built my house (1894) was supposedly a road house for a bit then a farm

I have also found the tip of the pick and a few inches back. Tough work in hard rock for sure, hope there was a smithey around.

    Regarding that tin you found, I saw a Pioneer Brand Baking Powder tin for sale online that looks just like it. It says Registered June 11, 1881 on the side, so that may roughly date it.

      On BLM land you’re limited on the amount of rocks you can take. I believe it’s 25 lbs IIRC. The intent of not taking relics is to prevent people from ransacking archaeological sites. That’s my take on it. It may be a lot of trash, but you can see how it can be used to date a site.

    That brass rivet could be from a pair of Levi jeans. The story goes that Levi jeans used to have a copper rivet right near where a man's gonads are. Result, when too close to a campfire the rivet would heat up. One nasty way to wake up. That ended when somebody high up in Levi Jeans company experienced a wake-up call.

    I think there will never be any archeologists out in the desert golng threw the dirt. Better luck next time. I think i would have used both detectors. The 24k is more sensitive to targets that are shallow. The new machine is a great tool finding civil war stuff too. When you find a big nugget it will be worth it. I think you have to dig up a hundred to one piece of gold. Tell you phantom friens hello.
