Me and Possum hunted a house that I lived in when I was 6 -11. When my father died his home was sold to the church across the street and they hold a lot of Christian and Boy Scout retreats. And even though I was looking for something a little more personable from my past I’m glad the Boy Scouts were there. IMG_1865.jpgIMG_1866.jpgIMG_1868.jpgIMG_1869.jpgIMG_1867.jpgIMG_1863.jpg

Nice finds
As I was raised by wolves in the forest, I had no home
 

Had a great time brother, I'll get my little finds up as soon as things slow down and I have time... "D"
 

That's some pretty cool saves. I was in Scouting for many years as a kid & adult so they are pretty special items. Congrats & HH
 

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Nice finds.
I have one of those brass neckerchief knots i found not to long ago as well.
Thats cool hunting a place you lived as a kid.
Ive been wanting to do same, here in town too, but havent done so yet.
Now i have some motivation to do it..
 

Great finds from your former home site!

I wanted anything personal from my parents, a toy, dog tag anything. Lost most everything personal from my past in Katrina. I tried though. It felt special.

I have not endured personal loss on the scale you and others have with Katrina. But, I did get a brief 2 hour permission to hunt my childhood home. Found a few wheat cents and a small hammer head that was mine as a child.........priceless. Get back there and find that memento of your childhood!!

State, National or BLM Jeff. If say National, you might be considered as a "Native Forest Creature", and have open permission to detect anywhere. I like it.
 

Hi, wow nice hunt with great finds. Congrats:icon_thumright:
 

Looks like some nice Scouting memorabilia for the display case Truth. Great outing. I always enjoy finding Scouting items.

I’m gonna try too Chizzy. My main childhood home is a war zone know, it’s called Now Orleans East, so that one is unfortunately out the picture.
 

I have often thought about hunting the house that I grew up in and my grandparents place. How cool it would be to dig up an old toy or something that you had forgotten about. Nice finds !
