Made it out last Sunday early monring to beat the 100+ heat of the day. Tried new tear out for nothing but minimal clad. Guess it was all backfill in the day. A few other spots for misc nothing. Back to site I hit weeks ago where house burned down. This time brought magnet to clean area of all the iron. Removed over 100 nails. Then slow and steady with sniper coil. Started with a wheat and cool 1934 Unicion Pacific token to promote the new aluminum Pullman cars. I found same token 7 years ago in SoCal. Had a junk signal but was digging everything. All in just two foot area pulled a zinclon, rescan a memorial, rescan and now a 44S war nickel then even deeper signal after removing all the other targets out pops a IHP. IHPs rare in Arizona. My first of the year. Then three feet away another odd beat up coin. Turns out to be a good for 5 cent token. Other side just a big M.
Scouted around more areas, found piles of fresh dirt on lot. Never know unless you try. pulled a 1915 wheat. Wish I knew where the dirt came from.
Week before found fresh scrape on well pounded lot. Silver long gone but wheats and tax tokens. But best was my first railyard key. This was AT&SF from 1936.
As always a great time. These were my last hunts here in Arizona. Time to head north to Montana. Thankfully my job lets me live in both states.
