My finds with the T2

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

I have to tell you I am a bit spoiled when it comes to relic hunting it seems you can spend all day digging trash if you have a lot that is littered with it which most are where I hunt! I have gone from about hundred squats to two hundred looking for something good. The T2 is like a machine gun but if and when I here the high tone on Tone 3 or the high tone on 2B I dig.

It can be anything from deep pull tabs to junk and pipes man you have to have a shovel and that is not always that easy to use when you have the neighbors looking at you. This is what I have found in the last three weeks with my T2 and it was a lot of work I need a vaction. The dollar I found was from a old one room home and I went inside and kicked around a few bits of junk and saw this frame. I cleaned it up and said "is that play money"?

Thought it best to take off and clean my find and do a one dollar search on the internet and low and behold it is real.

I think a lot of you relic hunters hunt sights that may be filled with nails and you just wait till you here the second tone and dig and not ask questions. Where I live it is junks ville, you could fill up the back of Old Calif's truck and still not find anything good. I know that is what you have to do sometimes to get the junk out of the way and grab the good stuff. A lot of the times I can't take a load out with me and I may get one chance to hunt the lot before I get told to not come back.

Can you guys tell me about how you relic hunt.

Thanks Lawrenzo/LCPM

Those are allot of T-2 finds there,

I like the dollar note you found inside the old structure, I've found allot of old newspapers and old magazines from old structures but never an old note...WTG!

Junksville as you put it are the kind of sites many prefer to search, Allot of junk and mostly common trash but mixed in underneath or laying on top can be some good keepers if one puts in the time.

My truck does look like a museum on wheels with all the junk in the pickup bed, People pick through it all the time pulling out old goodies to take home....Once in a while an old barber or Indian penny filters though the junk and ends up in someone's pocket.

Relic hunting is easy, Once you get pass digging up allot of trash it's down hill from there

Congrats with the finds,

Darn Lawrenzo,

You live right smack in the middle of an area rich with history from the gold rush era, Here's a satellite picture of an 1850's Chinese town in your area. Of course it's now on private owned lots and all that remains are the artifacts underneath the soil, Do you know the history of this Chinese town and maybe you should get permission from the owners of these lots to search the area.

Can you image the 49er's who ventured into this area in hopes of making a fortune from the yellow dirt, Please hit this area and you'll be surprised what lies underneath the old soil.......I've never been to this area but based from what little research I did this evening on the town you live in, This particular 1850's Chinese town should give up allot of artifacts including old American coins and relics as well.

The enclosed "red dot" areas in the pic is the area of the 1850's Chinese town, Looks like good easy digging too.

If you like, I'll drive up there and get the permission needed. Let me know.

Paul I know the area it is about five blocks from where I work. The people that own the land are Native American Indians. The day you called me about buying the T2 Rybo and I were on a another persons property that was about one hundred yards away. I have tried to get permission. The girl that works with me (Michelle) at the pharmacy her husband/boyfriend that she lives with and had three kids with lives on the land but the Aunt won't give permission. She thinks she might lose all the riches. They plan on scrapping the lot and building in the near future. They have found all sorts of old glass. Michelle husband/boyfriend grew up there and said there is a part of a mine there.

I don't know how else to get on the camp...It is about four miles from where Rybo and I found the Calvery Sight.
