If you live within striking distance of the Zunis you're missing a good bet if you haven't spent any time in there detecting.
I posted one location here on another thread:
Stinking Springs, Grasshopper Canyon etc

But the Zunis are too loaded with communities, mines, sawmills, logging camps, log cabins, abandoned farms and ranches and railroad camps to list them all, or for any single individual to try to find them all. The book below is the best I've ever found on the railroad/logging history and spills off locations for detecting better than any I've ever come across:
Zuni Mountain Railroads, Cibola National Forest, New Mexico, GLOVER, VERNON J.; JOSEPH P. HEREFORD JR.

The Sherry Robinson book's also great for learning a lot about the area:
