I went back to the festival parking area and spent 5 more hours swingin the CZ21. I managed 100 coins with a face value of $6.45, 4 keys, a Canadian quarter, a marijuana pendant, a 4H veterinary science pin, 2 wheaties, a few tabs, lots of can slaw and a few large iron pieces.
Got back to the scout camp finally. Still a little snow on the ground, but most of the sites are clear. In 6 hours of swingin I found 97 coins with a face value of $6.53, 85 camp tent pegs, a pair of aluminum troop mess kit pliers, a good turn coin, a rope tensioner, a clevis pin, a sinker, a few tabs and some foil.
The good turn coin is to be kept in your left pocket. Each day as you do your scout good deed you transfer the coin to your right pocket. (The scout slogan is Do a good turn daily.)
Back at camp another 6 hours swingin the CZ21, 113 coins with a face value of $8.55, 73 camp tent pegs, a mag light flashlight, a the brass end of a 2 part flagpole, sinkers, a stainless fork, fishing lures, a rope tensioner, 2 squashed pennies, 2 brass parts of a scout belt, tabs, a little melted aluminum, foil wrappers, and aluminum tops from soda cans. (When tabs first started to be used, the cans were still steel and only the lid and tab were made of aluminum. When the cans have been in the ground long enough the steel rusts away and only the top is left. It normally gives a high tone signal.)
The squashed, or elongated pennies are from Six Flags American and the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh. The 2 brass pieces are from an older style scout belt. The one on the left is the adjustment grip from a buckle and the other is the brass end piece.
Another trip to camp with 5.5 more hours at a different site and a half hour at the archery range. The weather got cold again (18 when I got there) but I. Undoes up and went anyway. I found 139 coins with a face value of $11.20, 58 camp tent pegs, a toy iron, 2 sinkers, the brass part of a scout belt hook for your knife, a fishing lure, a lead slug, a live round, a rope tensioner, some tabs and some melted aluminum from the fire pits.
The toy iron is a monopoly game piece. The bullet is an older one, possibly from the old farm before the scouts got there.
The archery range only produced one coin, but 31 aluminum arrows. They were totally hidden by the grass and moss. I left the arrows at the archery shelter since most are still good and the rest just need the fletching repaired.
Well not much special, just a pile of clad, more tent pegs for camp and fresh air social distancing fun. It’s hard to believe that we have been staying away from everyone for a whole year already. Thanks for looking, stay safe and may your coil lead you to good things.
