I've been hitting all the local churches in my area. I have found a neckerchief slide at most of them. Boy scouts is very popular here. These are fun to find. What scout finds have you unearthed?

I would kill to find a silver scout ring, still high on my bucket list.
I have found lots of neck slides, a few odd and end girl scout pins too but this is my coolest scout find.
I have never seen anyone post about finding another one on any forum yet.

A Classic Century mechanical Cross pencil.
All those gold parts are gold, 23k gold plated anyway.

Those LDS churches are just dumping grounds for Cub Scout slides. LOL

Everytime I did one (I don't do them anymore) I'd find between 2 and 8!

Oddly, never found a CTR ring at a church. LOL

Most of my silver coins are from the older LDS churches and sidewalk tear outs. Almost all of my silver ring finds are of the CTR type.

It's weird. I find a whole lot of CTR rings in the parks, but not many at the churches. Of course, I only did 3 of them, before I switched strictly to parks. I gave all the neckerchief slides to the cub scouts of the various packs. The parents were in LOVE with my hobby... as those things get lost all the time, and at like $5-$6 a piece, they loved getting some freebies. Just gave them to the cubmaster to give out at pack meetings, when the kids would show up with their neckties tied. (that's a strong indicator that it was missing!) LOL

I might go back and try a few more to see if any CTR rings pop out.

Around here, virtually all of the churches are less than 20 years old, though... not many old silvers in the ground. :)

Cheers!

This is a neat thread!

I moved to Utah this summer and have yet to find anything scout related. Back in Kansas I found lots of neckerchief slides, but a small silver cub scout ring and a vintage pinewood derby medal have to be my favorite scout finds. Both were found in school yards.

Those silver scout rings are so cool. Definitely on my "want to find" list. I really like that pinewood derby metal too.
 
Finding Boy Scout and Scout items are always unique. They all have some type of story behind them. I have found numerous bolo tie pieces. I found a scout ring a Girl Scout pin. But the most unique piece what's the small coin like item item found in the backyard of my grandparents house. I showed it to my dad and he had lost it in the backyard when he was a boy.

Found this at an 1850 home site. It is the centerpiece of a scout flag desktop set. This is before and after cleaning.
