Recent finds from the campgrounds...

[time4me]

I got out twice this week to my favorite campground site, and found a few keepers.

No silver coins this week, which bummed me out a bit, but I did find silver - a sterling silver fork! I bet mom was pretty mad when she learned that hubby or son lost a piece of her good serving set

Here are the pics...

Total haul from Tuesday's hunt...

I picked up the deer antler for my son - I knew he'd get a kick out of that.

Here are the keepers from Tuesday...

I've been hoping to find one of these Statue of Liberty neckerchief slides, and did a little mental happy dance when she came out of the ground...

The little round disk with the patent date of Dec. 29, 1885 is a flame spreader for an oil lamp (big thanks to BigCypressHunter on the What Is It? forum)...

And here is yesterday's haul...

And another very cool neckerchief slide to add to the collection...

I also found two Boy Scout belt slides, one for Conservation and one for Environment - apparently the Boy Scouts don't use these belt slides anymore, only Cub Scouts, and they are a little different...

Here's the clad...

And here's the mark on the fork...

Happy Hunting!

Jim

Sorry you didn't find any silver coins this time, Jim, but you've got a some cool scout items. I've got a Statue of Liberty neckerchief just like yours a couple of years back.

Makes you wonder why someone would bring a sterling fork to a campground. Little scout Johnny probably needed a fork for his camping trip, so he took one from Mom's good set.

Nice finds, Slidemaster!!

I can't wait to dig one of those Liberty slides. We were tooling through Colorado and came across one of those 8 foot statues of Liberty from the campaign pretty much in the middle of nowhere on a mountain road - obviously a relocate. Had to stop & take pics of it. Nice history in that slide! WTG!

Silverware gives me a thrill, too....

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

Shreve & Co. is EXTREMELY pricey stuff! I can not imagine the circumstances that would lead to this being found in a campground.
The fork alone is worth at least 75-100. in good condition.

Great hunt!!! I found one of those 1949 "Strengthen the arm of liberty" Boy Scout neckerchief, I found mine at an old BS camp in a swampy section.
