Charleston S.C.
It Was a Beautiful Day in Coastal S.C., Sunny and Temps in the Mid 60's. Art secured permission for us to Hunt a Former POW Camp, Deep in the woods near Charleston. Found a US Army Officers Hat Insigna, A 1941 5 Phennig Coin with a swastka on it, some GI legging buckles, a couple tent rope sinches & some buttons. Had alot of Fun and will hit it again real soon. trk5capt... 8) 8)

Nice finds and very interesting site! Any idea how big it was, borders, housing areas? HH, Mike
 

Looks like that place deserves a lot more detecting. That's really nice stuff Trk5cpat! I love the insignia, and I love finding foreign coins too. Nice job, and good luck!!
 

Neat finds, WTG!!!
That hat insigna looks to be the same design as on the great seal buttons, don't it?
Should be an interesting site...
Good luck & Happy hunting~
