Some Knives "one special"

[Scout]

These are just a few of the knives I have detected with my Tesoro Eldorado (lunch box) 1988 model and still digging strong
The first and third knife from the left where made from files and were found in old mining town and the two butter knives and pocket knife found there also. Must have been a Swiss Cheese knife on the right
My "Favorite and Best Find" is the old Trappers/Hunting knife in the center with worn wood handle because it was found on a "hunch" Having passed this beautiful stream and meadow area in the mountains on my dirt bike many times I new this was a place I wanted to detect and that It would have made a hunting camp back in the day. As I walked the area I noticed an enormous tree trunk that had been cut down so long ago there was not any sign of the tree left but this tree would have created a large shaded area perfect for a hunters camp. Years later I planned a day trip with a girlfriend to pack a lunch, load up the Rhino so I could haul my detector and go to go back to this place and hunt it. I parked the Rhino, walked around the creek and straight over to the old tree trunk and fired up the Tesoro. With thick pine needles all around I started to circle the tree trunk and I hit a strong signal right way! my hunch was right when I dig this knife out and half the wood was gone but one side was still there My hunch paid off as it has in the past! super stoked to find some old hunters knife and made the trip a success

Very cool finds especially the old hunting knife. Good post and photos. Thanks for sharing.

That knife on the right puts Swiss cheese to shame :P I make file knives every so often (usually use better metal) so the first and 3rd are cool!

Bodacious set of knives "congrats" on your finds & I also like the hunter's knife best and bet the guy that lost it regrets losing it - anyway thanks for posting the picture and story of your finds for us and I wish you many more while out dirt fishin.
