Never let anybody ever tell you that a location has been hunted out!!!! So far I have heard that the place closed down in the 60's, 70's and the 80's, And I heard that it was opened in the 20's. I ran into some people MD'ing, they said they have been hitting that place for years and years and that it all about dried up!!! They said they used to find Standing Liberty quarters all of the time, same with half dollars. I haven't found any coins yet, but I haven't even touched the field yet. I have just been hunting around the edge of the tree line (by the big trees).
I went back to the Boy Scout camp today, I was all over the place. But it paid off!!!!
I found 6 Bollo's (Neckerchief holders) a pocket knife, large button, small glass jar, an old lock, a aluminium token dated 1945 its hard to read (corrosion) but it says something about the war and waist paper and has Dwight D. Eisenhower on it and it has the Boy Scouts symbol on it, and some kind of belt holder.
My favorite is the Bollo with the Statue of Liberty on it. It says "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty".
I tried to get a good pic of the token, but Its too small and I cant focus my camera to see the writing on it.

WTG TF !!! a good man with a good detector can make believers out of others. Nice variety of goods, steve

Wow! Treasurefiend, you sure did "clean house"

That is terrific detecting !
Something tells me that you are going to find much more treasure there.

How deep were these items? the pix amaze me...6 bolos in one day!

congratulations on the great finds!
:super::yo::jump::clap:
 
They were all about 3 to 5 inches down. The ground is soaked, so I got to play in the mud!!!:hot:
I figured that if I was camping in the summer, I would like to lean under a big tree, so thats where I was hunting, just along the tree line. Some guys were working the field, but I just kept to my self and hit pay-dirt:detecting:
 
may well be one put out for America's Bicentennial (1976). That is the only one I have seen so it is not as common as the others. I see a couple Webelos (the flower design ones) cub scout neckerchief slides. BTW Webelos is a rank in Cub Scouts but also means We Be Loyal Scouts!

Congrats on the finds TF
 
I have never seen a Liberty slide! I bet that is a good one! :)
I have seen that token before. Congrats on the finds!
