Last week I had 2 chances to detect at the scout camp. As always in both hunts I found a few tabs and a decent amount of melted aluminum from the fires. The first hunt I found 130 coins with a face value of$11.09, 104 pegs, plenty of sinkers, a key, a Canadian dime, a live 22 round, a small stamped piece of aluminum, 3 neckerchief slides and a freshly lost knife.
In addition to the pegs I found a badly rusted and destroyed hunting knife and a lid lifting tool for a Dutch oven. I will clean up the lid tool and give it to the troop, they come in handy.
My second trip I found 100 coins with a face value of $8.32, only 74 pegs, an Eagle Scout Mentor pin, some modern bullets, 2 older belt clips for pocket knives (belt part is brass, the clip is ferrous and so mostly rusted away), a neckerchief slide, some sinkers, a rope tensioner and a nice hatchet head in decent shape.
The hatchet was on the surface under some leaves so it has not been there long. It is marked Sandvik with size numbering and Made In Germany. From what I have found out on line this is made from Swedish Sandvik steel but manufactured in Germany. The info I found said it was made by the Helko Werk Factory and it should have an HW stamped at the back. Mine does not have the HW stamp so it may have been made at another plant or at a later date. There is also the possibility that it is a knock off. It looks like a nice hatchet so I’ll put a handle onto and use it anyway.
The pegs included 2 more big berthas with the registration numbers on them (one is missing its T top) and 4 very new 24” long bars with a pointed end and holes drilled along the shaft to help fasten lines for setting up large tarps.
So 2 more fun hunts at the scout camp. Nothing as nice as the Barber Quarter, but lots of fresh air, lots of targets and lots of variety, definitely better than sitting at home. Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
