I went back to my old trail, that led to a mountaintop resort. I attempted to look for areas that were flat, thinking the horse teams may have rested here and passengers would too. Unfortuneatly, this lead me nowhere. I found some clad, mostly pennies, a lot of pull tabs, bullets and junk. A ton of time and work to no avail.
I then went to the lookout areas thinking that hikers and the like would sit down there. Again, some clad...no silver or gold. Bullets and garbage.
After, I went to the resort shell. It has been abandoned for 80 or 90 years. near the old bar building, I found an old doorknob, some recent junk, a lot of trash; it was very tough digging. Not too sure anyone should be digging here on state land, and I was tired and bitten to pieces by the bugs.
Anyway, I really thought my thought train was quite logical. I think if there were good coins, I would have found one.
Is it fair to assume that if you find clad and you know this has been a popular area for 150 years, that there would be some good coins too?
Any research tips would be appreciated.
