WINNER #1
My favorite find for May 2011 goes to Mr. Steven S. of Cave Springs, Arkansas for the discovery of the Boy Scout commemorative coin.
This 100+ year old Boy Scout Good Luck Coin was struck to commemorate the founding of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910. Found about 4 inches deep with his Ace 350, Steven celebrated his own good luck. He left us with a quote in his story that reads, “Good luck follows you when you use Garrett.” My father, Charles Garrett, was a Boy Scout, and continues to support the organization today. Being a Boy Scout taught my father much about land and survival and pride and laid the groundwork for a mind that helped shape Garrett Metal Detectors.
Charles Garrett as a Boy Scout, 1940
Congratulations to Steven S. for sharing with us this classic piece of Americana.
Steven S. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!
