In 1964 I was a brand new Boy Scout and wearing my brand new uniform which cost my parents a pretty penny. Half way through the meeting my kerchief fell off. The reason was the kerchief slide, which holds the kerchief in place had fallen off. Made of bright brass they were normally easy to find but this one never was recovered. Because money was tight I had to wear the Cub Scout slide I thought I had graduated from. This was embarrassing and my fellow Scouts gave me a great deal of grief until my parents relented and bought me the proper one for my uniform.
A couple of months ago I was driving past the lot where my troop met and on a whim I pulled in and grabbed my 250. Half a dozen swings and I got a nice signal. Four inches down I find my kerchief slide!
This has been my favorite find so far!
Later the week I was at a local college campus about a mile down the road. Again I made a half dozen swings, got a signal and four inches down I find a Cub Scout slide.
