Did some metal detecting today, fun finds. The plow head was about 8 inches deep.
Want to find more rings while metal detecting? The secret isn’t always your detector—it’s knowing where people are most likely to lose them. Beaches, sports fields, playgrounds and a few overlooked spots can dramatically improve your odds.

Update on that Catholic cross I found today metal detecting. It says “sterling chapel” on the back of it. It’s from the 1940s to 1960’s and it’s .925 sterling silver.
I must have found 20 of this style cross in my lifetime but this is the 1st one I’ve found that was silver.

On this day:
7 October 2021
Solo 8 month motorcycle trip from Florida.
Kingman Arizona on top of a 300 foot canyon.
The cowboy coffee fueled the days conversations of the Kingman UFO crash.
Did some metal detecting that day.
The truth is stranger than Fiction.
Go touch grass.

How far could people REALLY travel in a day?
A rider, wagon train, ox team, and person on foot all had very different limits.
Understanding those limits can help predict forgotten metal detecting sites.
