Detected a church parking lot. So what are the odds of finding three bolo slides. Two webalos and one Cuban scout. Any idea on how old the webalos are? Thanks for looking and any info. 20170304_162927.jpg

A possible reason for why you found 3 of them at a church is that many churches used to host Cub and Boy scout meetings. I remember many nights running around in the cemetery after a meeting while all the parents talked.

They look like 1960's 70's. I once detected a church yard and found 7 in my first outing there. A later outing produced 3 more. Obviously a place where the Scouts held their meetings. Good thing those boys would "rough and tumble" outside for a while.

Yep, definitely a church that hosted a Cub Scout Pack
I'm sure that the church or the Boy Scouts of America would have a record of when the Cub Scout Pack were meeting at that church. That would give an approximate time period during which those slides were lost.
Congratulations
