More campground finds - eagle buckle!!!

[time4me]

Well, if you've seen any of my last dozen or so posts, you can tell that I love detecting campgrounds. The older the better!

Last Friday I hit a new campground that I had never been to before. Man, there was old junk everywhere, including the remains of old cabins that have completely fallen apart over the years. I spent about 4 hours there, and was actually pretty shocked at how few coins I found. I did manage one silver quarter on that trip. Here are the results of this new old campground from Friday...

Yep, that's my eagle buckle. Sorry if I had you thinking it was something a little better

And here's everything all cleaned up...

This Wikies surf belt buckle is from the 1930's as best I can tell from online research...

All in all, it was still a fun day exploring a new campground area. I will definitely go back again as I believe there is a ton of treasure there - I just need to concentrate on certain areas and try to avoid all of the metal junk lying around both on top of and just under the surface.

Happy Hunting!

Jim

Yeah, Jim, it's pretty difficult to pull good signals from a site like that.

You could probably go back many times, and get a few keepers, while digging a ton of trash.

Nice going!!

Great assortment of finds. The item on the bottom left of the group shot pic (near the Eagle buckle) looks like an old hunting license frame. I found one just like it in the front lawn of a Forest Service office. Are you located in California?

I saw that cabin pic and thought "tons of rusted iron!"

Nice finds! Old George looks great in silver!
