ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 4:20 pm Just got back from a nice day at the Boy Scout camp I work at during the summer. I hit only 2 of the 12 camp sites and I found $14.68 in clad! The oldest coin was a 1954 nickel. I also found this awesome Gerber knife that is still in great shape and this little cool neckercheif slide. Just imagine how much more that camp has in it! My secret was to search the ground underneath where the the tent platforms are set up. I guess the scouts drop the coins through the cracks in the boards. Bad for them, god for me!

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 6:13 pm Yeah I plan on it The camp has been open since 1928, so there HAS to be silver in them thar hills lol. Only problem is...my detector can only penetrate about 3 inches deep That means I am missing all of the deeper, older coins. Guess this money can go in the pot for a new detector!

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 8:17 pm If you're allowed to dig there I would suggest just keep digging deeper. Just assume that the stuff you dug up today is the first layer and that there is more a few more inches down. You never know.... Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
