Tom_ca & Cal Do A Road Trip!

[Cal_Cobra]

And all I got was this buckle!

Okay there's other finds, mostly rim-fires and the usual common relicky finds.  Interesting site, unfortunately a couple of our hunts where shorter than anticipated due to equipment issues or other desert challenges haha

Hopefully @Tom_in_CA will share his finds too, he made some epic token finds 🐍

And a fine buckle it is Cal Cobra!

Did you give the Legend a turn?

Nice buckle Brian. What's a sailor doing out in the desert.  Good to see you and Tom still kicking. I hadn't seen anything from you 2 in a while.

It is a bit of a conundrum, but a welcome find!    We're still kicking, just haven't had an overly exciting hunts for a while.  Hope you're getting out El 👍

Nice buckle and I am sure that the other finds were also nice to.

Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.

Looking for that buckle brings up Kriegsmarine, a German navy buckle. 🤔 Is there a sub out in that desert? 🤪

Fascinating find in such a place.

Ah, it took you a little while to chime in Brian.   Glad we can all see your buckle.  Dated to 1875-1885, via our subsequent research.   And :  The late 1870s fits nicely with our known history of the site (when it went vacant).
