I had a picnic at an old Girl Scout camp that just celebrated their 85th year of scouting. What do you know, I had my detector on me.
I thought how cool would it be to find some scouting relics. With not much more than an hour to hunt, I grabbed the scout director and said, "let's go find some relics".
Found the usual trash and 3 wheaties, 1922,27,and 46.
Mechanical pencil, 20 ga Headstamp, a knob that has "air" printed on it. Maybe from
An old automobile?
The scout relics were a GS pin and a scout knife.
Can anyone guess the ages of these scout relics?

This is on the knife

This is the pin. Good gold color huh?

I told the director when the season is over, I will bring an extra detector and we would hit this hard.
He agreed and my heart is still racing in anticipation.

More to come later.

Thanks

I'm working on a permission to hunt a Boy Scout Campground that I camped at when I was a scout.
That was in the early 60's. There was a practice back then to bury what you couldn't burn. I have a feeling that it was a common practice.
Today we all practice a carry in / carry out procedure.
You had a really good hunt and congrats on getting permission for future hunts.

Don't be surprised if you dig a compass or 2. Good luck after the season.
