A few hours at an old logging camp

[Dan W Wa.]

I know how much you people enjoy looking at anything dug so I thought I would post todays finds from an old logging camp near me.
The wife and I spent three hours there digging everything that beeped. nothing much special today, but did pop a 10k 1974 class ring, a few months ago and was able to return it to its owner after being lost for 33 years.
You guys think this site shows much promise?

I think you have a good spot there and you are doing the right thing. Digging anything that beeps! Keep posting your finds

Looks like some military training went on there too

I see a couple 7.62mm NATO (.308 Win) blanks rounds by the ID Tag.

Cool Finds!!

Nice finds and congrats on returning a class ring! The site definitely shows potential. Is that a piece of gold? Here's a site on US ID tags. http://home.att.net/~steinert/us_army_ww2_dog_tags.htm HH, Mike

You don't find an awful lot of gold at those logging camps.
I'll bet that was a pretty good surprise!
Congratulations.

Sorry diggergrl, I have no idea how old it is, but the camp was in operation from 1946 to 1978 or there about.
