Dances With Doves Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 We got permission to hunt a park that use to be a Girl Scout camp from the 1920's to the 1990's when it closed down.The head caretaker of the park is a great guy and gave us the green light to detect there.We gave him a few scout relics which he would put in the park museum and he was very grateful for are finds.He told us that one capsule was found but a old farmer said a other one was still missing and gave us the area it could be in.It is probably from the 30's or 40's.I think the one is in a museum around here and we hope to see what it is made of.Have any of you heard of other Scout capsules and what could be in them ?I hope they are detectable.If not we could still stumble on to some silver coins or rings for a consolation prize. If found we will give the capsule to the caretaker to be put in a museum. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiftaaft Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 That sounds like a fun hunt and I love that the Girl Scout relics were given back for the museum. My kind of hunt!! Thanks for sharing DWD! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My sister was a Girl Scout and they placed a time capsule in the ground. She gave a scarf with a bolo into it. So you may have enough metal inside one to find it. Good luck on finding it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Doves Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 We went looking for it for a while on Sat. but we did not find it.We need to talk to the man in charge of the park to narrow down where it could be.My buddy found 8 silver coins in a different section of the park on a damp hill side.My other buddy found a 1982 pigeon band from Buffalo.This place has been hit hard but it is a big place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
