Beautiful day here and 25 minutes out with x70+PIC.....

[Icehouse]

Hello all. I had 25 minutes to kill on my lunch hour today to fiddle around with my X70. The day was spectacular here in SE wiscinsin @ 70 degrees, windless and sunny as can be.

Anyways, I was digging only coin tones/numbers and I found some lincoln cents and a light bulb and what really lit up my day was when I dug out what I "think" is a boyscout piece. I am wondering if the wolf on this piece means anything when it comes to boy scouts like maybe a group or tier/level of boyscout or something like that. I am not well versed in boy scouts so please forgive my question about it. On the back of it there are metal fold over "clasps" which must have attatched it to something. It was a great find for me cause I really never have found anything like this before. I know it is not worth anything but it satisfied me greatly digging it

I found the pennies at 1-2 inches that came in at 30-34
The light bulb was just at the base of 4 inch grass and it gave a good tone but I forget what number
And the wolf piece was @ 3-4 inches in rich dark earthen soil and it was telling me "wierd" quarter 38-42-44 on the display

Thanks for looking and if anyone has any input about the wolf thing I greatly appreciate it.

it is a boy scout piece, it goes on the bandana around the neck much like a bolo tie. cool finds

That is a Cub Scout neckerchief slide. The original three Cub ranks were Wolf (age 9, later age 8, now 2nd Grade), Bear (age 10, later age 9, now 3rd Grade), and Lion (age 11, later age 10, dropped in 1967). And I remember having one with the Wolf, one with a Bear and one with a Lion, before "graduating" into the Boy Scouts. HH Randy
