Huge "Metal Detecting" find and a what-is-it

DNADave

I used to dectect a lot about 5 or 6 years ago, way before I started reading these threads... now I find myself wanting to get back into it. Well, since its raining here in WV, I decided to clean out my out building and I found my box of treasure that I found a few years back. All of this was found with a Bountyhunter Quickdraw II. Most was in a State Forest but I also searched abandonded coal towns (the brass tags with numbers stamped in them) and I like to just walk through the woods (fired bullets)











This I can't figure out what it could be. Thought maybe a sheath of sorts but ????

Thanks for sharing your past finds Dave!

Can't help you on the relic, but maybe someone here has something similar and will chime in.

I like the button next to the police badge!
I see you have 2 Boy Scout neckercheif slides and a Cub Scout one as well. Were these found in close proximity?
The oval silver locket is cool too!

Yep, Our local state forest is a result of the Civilian Conservation Corps effort during the depression. For a very long period of time now, the former CCC loding site has been a popular Boy Scout camping area. It's a fun place to search.

Its also used by our local guard unit for war game practice (thus the fired blanks)

It's a crustycritter. A hoobyjigger. Yeah, that's it.

That's an interesting array of old tool checks.
