Went to try and locate an old ghost mining town yesterday. The bad news was that it was easily accessible and only a half hour away from Las Vegas. I didn't think there would be much left to be found, but had to give it a go anyways.
Lots of stone buildings still partially standing but surprisingly very little trash on the ground.
I did get some good sounding signals to dig, but all were just junk.
The best find of the day was an almost complete Battersea assayer's crucible. I see these fairly frequently but they're usually in pieces.
The cartridges are .32 S&W, .38 S&W and .38 rimfire.
Some of the ruins:
A deteriorated adobe brick wall. If you look close you can see the brick outlines.
Some of the local cacti:
Even though the finds were slim, it was a fun day kicking around in the dez!
