Thinking everyone enjoyed the posted Forks, I thought I'd show some of my other Camp finds from years gone by. I really miss digging the Camp items and hopefully the Relic Lords will guide me to another Camp? I'm searching the Camps that were found long before I started swishing but some have offered many finds for this Old Boy!
Hoping You Enjoy! I Have To Get This Stuff Out To Remember What Some Of It Looks Like Anymore!
Good Luck & Happy Hunting, Roger

Hey Mark,
I've sold a few wormers, gun tools, 1 Enfield nipple protector with brass chain and the scan shows what I have kept. I've never sold a field made nipple protector (best I remember).

Hey Tim,
That's part of a British Sergeant's pattern tool. Quote from the book Civil War Artifacts by Howard R. Crouch, "Originally it combined the screwdriver, punch, mainspring clamp, ball screw and an oil reservoir in the body". I tried to scan a picture out of my book but it didn't turn out well. I make another attempt this evening after returning from digging.
Good Luck To All Diggers, Happy Hunting, Roger

Hey Tim,
Took this with my camera and it's the best I can do with the black & white picture from my book of the tool!
Thanks Pete, It's just one half of the flask! Maybe someday I can find a whole one......if Mother Nature doesn't eat them up!
Hoping Everyone Had A Great Day...Swishing, Swinging or Looking, Roger
