Ghost Town Adventure Part 4

[stoney56]

Well, I went back over to the old town today. I didn't get to hunt it like I wanted to because the oil field people were running around like crazy laying seismic cables all over the place. The cables were from what I could see about 2 mi. long and were 5 horizonal and 5 vertical lines per mile. I did find a bunch of bottles which I don't have oall the pics yet. There was one Pepsi bottle sitting upright out in the middle of nowhere. The very top was broken so I left it as I found it. Beside it is a long handled tine tiller that I found close by. That I liberated and it came in handy shortly after that.
I was heading back to the Jeep when I got a signal near some junk. It was repeatable but scratchy, as it would repeat from left to right but not up and down, it could have easily been missed.
At this point, the coin needs to be cleaned so that I can tell what the date and mint is. For some reason, the soil here is rough even on silver as it looks to be pitted pretty bad. All non ferrus metals all seem to have this green patina stuff on it.

I'd be willing to bet the soil has a very high salt content stoney. The coins from the beaches along the Cimarron and Arkansas rivers look much the same down on this end. Keystone Lake has almost as high a salinity as the ocean and that's why they don't use it for drinkiing water. I wonder if Kaw Reservoir is the same? Monty

Stoney,
That green is just my envious slobbers on it. I am still working on that project for us. HH

Well Monty that could very well be possible. There is a river about 2 mi. away called the Salt Fork and if you noticed the area around that Pepsi bottle, you'll see that nothing is growing there. This arid patch is about 150 yards square, the rest is knee high prarie grass and broomweed.
If the weather doesn't warm up this weekend, guess will find the coveralls and go back out to one of the other areas and see if Part 5 is worthy.
