Never let anybody ever tell you that a location has been hunted out!!!! So far I have heard that the place closed down in the 60's, 70's and the 80's, And I heard that it was opened in the 20's. I ran into some people MD'ing, they said they have been hitting that place for years and years and that it all about dried up!!! They said they used to find Standing Liberty quarters all of the time, same with half dollars. I haven't found any coins yet, but I haven't even touched the field yet. I have just been hunting around the edge of the tree line (by the big trees).
I went back to the Boy Scout camp today, I was all over the place. But it paid off!!!!
I found 6 Bollo's (Neckerchief holders) a pocket knife, large button, small glass jar, an old lock, a aluminium token dated 1945 its hard to read (corrosion) but it says something about the war and waist paper and has Dwight D. Eisenhower on it and it has the Boy Scouts symbol on it, and some kind of belt holder.
My favorite is the Bollo with the Statue of Liberty on it. It says "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty".
I tried to get a good pic of the token, but Its too small and I cant focus my camera to see the writing on it.
