Rosie Spill at the Church Camp

[washingtonian]

Hey folks,

It doesn’t count as stealing from the Lord if you find money at a church camp, right? [emoji23]

I finally got back to a spot my brother and I hit in early 2018 to do some more hunting (previous post here http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...nder-spokane-big-silver-gold-rare-tokens.html).

It is primarily a church camp and has been from the 40s onward but last time here I also found a couple civil war era buttons so I was curious to see if I could find more.

Overall, I had a great day headlined by finding a 2 Rosie spill (52-S and 53-S) in the first hour of my 4.5 hour hunt. I also took home 9 wheats (oldest is a 39-S), 2 tax tokens and a 1940 Jefferson nickel.



I chatted with the old camp caretaker who told me that an old church member did some detecting there and found some nails from horseshoe from civil war times. I told her about the cavalry buttons I found in that same area. It was nice to get some confirmation of other period items found there. There was a military fort in the mid 1800s less than 10 miles away so they must’ve spent a little time here.

I focused the second half of my day on finding another cavalry button without success. Maybe I’ll get another next time.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting folks!

Yes that is stealing from the Lord he is not pleased with your pillage. Though forgiveness can be given if you Bless me with your finds its easier for a poorman to get to heaven than a rich man to go through the eye of the needle I think that was way back when something about the eye of the needle was a gate to go through to worship but the rich people would not go through because all thier goods and riches wouldnt fit through and they wouldnt leave them to go worship.Did you worship before you plundered the loot ? I think not!!!!! My friend. A sacrifice is in order to pay for your sinister behavior. lol Just kiddin my friend 2 days of fixing cars brakes,AC compressors ect Thats always cool to find a silver spill that would be an awesome place to hunt if you find something religious you could give it to the pastor and score some points with the lord lol Great post and finds my friend your killin it this year.

Haha thanks Tommy. Funny enough, last time I was there I found the youth pastor's lost gold wedding band. It had the crosses and fish and everything. I got that back to the youth pastor which has gotten me the green light to detect the camp for life! Lol.

Karma paid off I'd say, Congrats on those great finds! I will have to get out and hunt with Tommy soon, I'd say he needs a Silver fix!

Nice finds! While I was hunting an old church many years ago I was approached by a woman who stated that I should leave the money in the ground because it belonged to God. I had to chuckle a little and continued about my business.

That is hilarious. People are so weird. That money isn’t doing God or anyone much good 5 inches under the surface. I once had a lady tell me I should not metal detect because, “people probably lost things purposefully and never wanted them to be found.” Wow....haha

I’ve been wondering where you’ve been at! Glad to hear you’re back in the fold and ready to tear up TNet again.
