Another hunt in the woods today......one of my favorite places to hunt. :)

Here's the kind of day I had for about 2 hours worth of hunting after work. The sun was setting, and a snow storm was just brewing up.......so I headed home. :)

My very first good signal was a couple of minutes into the hunt. I was scanning the main trail, when "BANG".... a good clean bell-tone signal. I dug it up, and low and behold, a well worn "Great War Veterans Association/Good For 10 Cents In Trade" token popped out of the ground. My son and I had dug about 38 of these several years ago, about a mile from this location. I have often wondered if perhaps there may be some more lying around, and I guess there are. I had them appraised several years ago. There were only 2 known to exist....until I dug up a whole batch. At that time they were appraised at about $90.00 a piece.

Here is a better explanation of the token found today, a copy of an article submitted to Western & Eastern Treasures.

My second decent sounding target on the main trail was this "BOY SCOUT" jack knife. I like finding boy Scout objects, as I too was a member at one time and have some great memories of the group.

Things got quiet for a while, except for the odd piece of tinfoil, some brass suspender pieces and a couple of 22 shells. I finally got another decent signal in some bushes, and I dug this old style lighter. It is I believe my third lighter in this design that I had recovered.

It was starting to get pretty dark in the woods, so I opted to call it a day and head home.......​

John,

You make me feel the lust to show what I've found with the ACE in a couple of years hunting...Your posts are so funny and really give me the impression I was there MD'ing around me too :-))

Well, as I can't show what I found in those incredible huntings I made for the Cultural Management Resources, I swear I will take a couple of hours to go in some wood, away from sites, and show what I would ever find with the CX, So I'll give my first impressions over it too.

Ciao.

Melvin
