So been working this particular area since I started in 2019. Also traveled and detected other areas in that time but this is my after work and weekend training grounds for my oldest daughter now. I posted a thread about this area but only showed the current finds that were the best yet. So a little history this area was homesteaded starting around 1869. Major timber producer and later about 50 miles into the mountains a small gold rush (Lone Jack Mine) there were three homes on the perimeter of these fields and 2 more that were pulled up from the flood plain. Homes are gone last one late 1970’s. Done tons of research maps, old photos, many visits to the historical society of our county, newspaper articles etc etc. There is still visible foundations and steps in the overgrowth. So here’s the area.
