What we got there, a nail or old railroad spike? That's a pretty good days worth of finds. At least you're getting some rain. That'll make surface hunting good.

Trav, re mud; Parked on the main gravel road right from early morn...thats a one wheel drive vehicle.. . a bit of dew on the grass and I would be camping there

Te, Horse shoe nail. Some part of that top of the hill had a livestock corral ( now completely dug under )..I got 3 "lucky" horse shoes.
re rain, drought relief $ notwithstanding. . . . Central Tx has had some degree of rain every week since January...thats why we had Springtime in Tx the first of February ! Yes good surfacing ( where the ground can be seen ! )
