What is that ? Is it gold? Buckle ?, button? , cufflink?
 

It is a boy scout neckerchief slide. LOL not scarce by any means. Did you find the scout that lost it?
 

It's a Webelos Scout Neckerchief Slide of the Boy Scouts
 

Unfortunately not [emoji23]
 

Collins6542 nailed it, Webelos, between cub scouts and boy scouts. Not often found.

I guess it depends on where you hunt. I have hunted Silver Trails Scout Camp, Camp Agawam, Camp Okimos, and one other that I can't recall the name of in Michigan and I have found a few of them. Three of the 4 scout camps are now closed.

They are not rare in my neck of the woods either. I have 26 of the Weblos and Boy Scouts Neckerchief slides combined. They do display nicely though the more you accumulate.
 

Ah Ha!, THAT'S why I thought that they are not often found, mystery solved, Scuba & Trezurshunter scooped them up. Perhaps I was wrong fella's, after all, growing up in Michigan I too was a Webelo, about 100 years ago, and you know, I lost mine somewhere around there, Scuba? Going thru some things, I HAVE found two cub scout, one webelo and two boy scout Kerchief slides, and Trezerhunter is right, put all together, a nice display, each one was worn by a kid who was pretty proud of it when he first received it, I believe I was.
 

Guess you guys can tell I was never in the scouts. And here I was thinking it was gold. Lol !! Oh well live and learn. Now I know !!
 

brass can look like gold
