Spent a few hours at the campground again yesterday. Got one silver rosie to keep my streak going of finding at least one silver coin in each of the last six hunts there.

Three wheaties - 1950, 1956 and 1957.

I really like the small brass bell. It is in pretty decent shape, and has a great sound if I hold it with a pencil and give it a little tap. Unfortunately it is just the bell part - no handle and no clanker.

The San Francisco Council Boy Scouts item was pretty deep, and unfortunately corroded around the edges. Looks like it may have been a neckerchief slide but the hook on the back has rusted off.

Can anyone identify the bullet shells? The biggest one looks like it has L C 7 9 stamped on the bottom, and the two smaller ones have L C 7 6 stamped on them.

Actually they are blanks and would never have held a bullet. They are rounds that perhaps the Boy Scouts used to fire a military salute for some event (back when Boy Scouts were real) or some military unit did the same.
