Can anyone provide a date on these?

Don't know the age, but they look like neckerchief slides congrats

I don't know the age but I have a ton of those things!!

Did you find all of them in the same hole?

 

[andrewt]

Not the same hole but all at the same location for an hour of detecting

You were detecting a Boy Scout Campground or a site used for a Boy Scout Jamboree.
Quite a collection.
Congrats.

Eight Boy Scout and one "Tiger Cub" neckerchief slides, probably all from the 1950's to present times. Do they have different styles of clasps on the reverses? Sub

I love finding those things.

 

[andrewt]

Most have the folding metal in the back except for one which has rivets.... After finding these I drove to the next town over and detected a school and found another one with a wolf ... Coicidence?

They are not that old, I used the same kind in the late eighties, early nineties. The round one in the middle intrigues me, can you take a picture of the back?

 

[andrewt]

It's completely smooth on the back

Actually, 7 Boy Scout plus one Webelo (the one on the upper right) + Tiger Cub. Yep, was recently detecting a camp that was regularly used by boy scouts and recovered several similar slides.

Could be a bolo slide with the guides broken off or a plate that was glued onto some plaque or something.

Cool blast from the past; reminds me of when I was a Boy Scout's, Congratualtions!
