Have you ever met an old building, foundation or
a big tree with carvings on it while hunting or fishing
back to the country? I have, and I've learned to bring my metal detector
my travels.

During a hunting trip a few years ago, we had four wheels
again the hills of southern Arizona. We were about 2 miles
since the Mexico border. Southern Arizona has a lot of history. Old
Strong, Treasure Mine, Boot Hill, Tombstone.

Once we got to our place game, each of us was in a different direction, looking
a good place to wait for game.

I went about two miles in the mountains when I was in a rock wall of age. This wall was of "stacking" rocks about 1 foot high. I guess that was taller at one time. It was 15 feet long. I could not understand what he was doing a wall outlet in this area. No road or path visible. I decided
to sit on the wall, waiting for the game. So did a rattlesnake. Scared the living day lights out of me. I think it was more he or she is ugly, so it slipped out.

After two hours and not seeing any game, I decided to delve into this wall. It became apparent this wall was actually a camp base line as possible, farm, or part of a fortress. Normally when you see the old buildings in Arizona, is used to see the corrugated roof sheets, or wood of some kind. This site had none of those details.

Needless to say, I had my metal detector that day. Use a rock began to dig around the
wall. I met a strange shaped piece of iron. It was shaped like a "T" one end of the curved top. Later I found out what was an old farmer. It was a "starter" cleaner. When the pawn was entering the building in which his boots cleaned by running them over the T.

I never returned to that place with a metal detector, but is marked on the map.

Over the years we have sought places as the field line age. When searching around an old building, as a line field, ranch house search around. Most of these veterans have to dig a hole outside the building and launching of their garbage into the hole. We found some nice old bottles and other items in the trash hole.

If a large tree close to verify that the activity of the past. Sizes, old rope on the
extremities. It could be a child used as a swing. More search around the base. I remember doing one of our hunting trips, looking for a mining camp is gone and a large tree next to the
buildings. Until about 15 feet stuck in the tree was a license plate old. The tree grew around the plate, where only half of it was visible. You could not see far. We left. I did not want
to do any harm to the tree.

Look stood alone near same. Miners used to use trees, posts, walls to bury their valuables.

On premises, we found old milk glass, nails square, antique car parts, old knife and a few old coins. Further research indicated that mining camp closed in 1935.

In summary, if you go hunting, fishing, pack trip or package where there is some other
opportunity to find the treasure not forget to take your metal detector. On the other treasure detect advice and information please Azmuletreasures box below.
