Did the two outings in NV, one was in the Wells area and the other down in Tonopah. As always they were lots of fun and a chance to meet up with some friends again. I primarily used the Racer 2 with either the 7" coil or a small coil. Well now at least I can say I have seen Tonopah and the Tonopah dump. I didn't do any sifting. I detected the dump area a few days and another site the last day. We also explored a few sites in the area as well. If you go to Tonopah, you have to stay in the world-famous Clown Motel to make your trip complete
When all was said and done I did manage to bring home a few keepers.
In the Wells area, I ended up with an 1859 half-dime, an 1869 IH Penny and prob my best find a FOB in the shape of the Liberty Bell that came from the 1915 San Francisco Panama Pacific International Expo. So that was a neat find.
In the Tonopah area I managed a 1901 IH Penny, 1900 V Nickel and a nice Eagle Button.
