If you want to have fun and have a fun treasure hunt, try the towns west of San.

Those to whom I refer are those who need a vehicles with four wheel drive to reach them. The key to finding these ghost towns is "research". The first place most people are starting to buy a book on ghost towns in the region where they will treasure hunting. It is better to have a topographic map of the region also. Another good source is the local historical society. They usually have old photographs of ghost towns long gone.

Let me say something about old black and white photographs. Although the building shown in the photo appear farther away than the actual site of the ghost town.

We wanted a long-gone city in southeastern Arizona. We had to wheel around 1-1/2 hours to do so. We had the card printer, an image of the old town dates from 1888. There were a few foundations visible on the Adobe website. We were in search of old saloon site. Standing on a small hill that we saw about 50 meters. Fortunately there are other earth mounds and hills triangular well. In fact, we have been standing almost on top of the foundation of the fair.

Looking at the photo old, where Gateway was determined. Most of the building have boardwalks, with spaces between the tables. If someone dropped a coin in the walk, more likely to pass through the floor. Since we had no idea what the show was as Inside, we had to guess where the bar could have been.

Most buildings in these old ghost towns are not very big, so you can create a box model of the search string to ensure that cover every inch. It was great fun researching the site.

We found that day were more than 50 100 years, square-headed nails, 3 "V" Nickels, a value of $ 35 – $ 50. Seniors low, and sectors. We expected a gold coin, but perhaps we will find it during the next hill. Good treasure hunt.
