Vol1266X and I were hunting a Union Civil War camp. I found this neat Cub Scout knife on the side of the hill. It was a three bladed knife with one blade obviously broken. We had been digging Civil War bullets and old coins before finding the knife. I will post our Civil War relic finds in the near future. Thanks for looking.

You had a big smile on your face when you dug the knife. It was almost as big a smile as when that mint dropped Type 3 Williams Cleaner came out of the hole you dug just before you detected the knife last Saturday. WTG!!!
 
I didn't know the cub scouts fought for the Union side....Congrats on the knife.
