Went to the city park of a small town of about 1000 people. Figured I'd test the waters because I'm in need of new turf. Dug my share of clad for about 3 hours, but nothing much older than the '70's. I was about to call it quits. I had to walk up a lengthy hill to get to my car, so I went to the middle of the hill and swung my way up. Half way up I got that sweet high tone, so I dug, and out pops the sterling scout ring. My first piece of scouts memorabilia! I did my happy dance then decided to hang out a bit more. On the other side of the park near a tree I got my second piece of scouts memorabilia. I guess its a neckerchief slide. I found a wee bit more clad before calling it a day. I haven't had a chance to research either item. Y'all happen to about when these things were made? Thanks for looking and happy hunting out there!

Oh yeah. I made the rookie mistake of trying to bend out the band. Snap!

Silver scout ring is a great find, I was in the scouts, late 60's, great memories. Most scouts probably did not have silver rings, unless the more influential families had a different dress code. Since being on the website I have often wanted to hunt old places I know are old scout areas, right now my focus is a little different than that.
