The spider bite is all healed up and I finally got to go detecting in Southern Arizona. Found a total of 66 clad cents. But, what a great place to detect.

Here is the old coot doing his thing.

This is where we were at.

This is what is left of an old mine shaft.

More of the old mine shaft.

This is what the general area looks like.

There is some water in Arizona!

After a great day in the out of doors, we drove off into the sunset. All in all, it was a great day.

    Looks a wee bit dangerous, ya old coot, what, with those open mine shafts! Do you live in that area?

    kiyote......I live about 45 miles from there between November and April each year. The rest of the year I live in Colorado. Winters in Colorado can be a bit difficult, so I get out of there. I can handle the open mine shafts ok. This is something you have to always be on the lookout for.

    This is a timber rattler. They make a pretty good meal if you are in a survival situation.

    The desert out here in the Mojave is littered with shafts. Most are shallow test digs but there are some death traps to be found as well. Gotta be careful, especially in the hills.

    Hey you really are an old coot! Just kidding, it's all relative. image Glad you're feeling better and getting out and doing what you enjoy. Looks like beautiful country out that way.
