Went to another spot along a stream with dwelling remains.
My son took the Cortes from me so this time I used the Cibola. We both used 5.75 coils.
Besides junk, he found a hand full of clad I did about the same except I got 3 rings. I have found up to 2 rings before so this 3 ringer hunt is a new record for me. The stream looks like it had an area used for a swimming hole and that's the area we hit this hunt. We hit a fairly small area so we will be going back after more rain makes the soil condition better. Looks like several old oak trees and a few old trails need to be worked also.
This one is soft enough I can actually squeeze it out of shape.

Small silver color junk ring - don't know if this a kids, pinkie, or toe ring.
