I wonder how the scouts keep their neckties in place? Seems like they all lost the keeper as many of these as I have seen on the forum! It gave me some incentive reading this post. I know where there are two scout camps that I went to as a child. Both have been abandoned and new camps built close by. I guess I should make a trip and see if they can be detected? No telling what the property looks like now or who owns it. I might use your post to talk ot the scout officials and ask permission, showing them what might be recovered. I realy would have no use for the items and would offer to donate them to the scouts as memorabilia....of course after I photograph them. Nice finds. Thanks for reminding me of another site to check out. JIM
