CCC camps finds

Coast · Apr 22, 2018

Found an interesting book on the 7 Civilian Conservation Corps camps located in Coos County Oregon. Went to the first one called Camp Coos Head in Charleston and found some interesting finds : 2 tokens for the jetty pool hall good for 5 cents in trade and a 1928 wheaty and a whole bunch of melted brass bronze melted into clumps. The camps were huge with upwards of 300 living in them at a time, have located 5 of them so far.

Any lakes at those camps? I have hit a bonanza of silver and gold at some of the ones in Michigan. I love diving at those camps

Congrats on your finds

We have several camps close to us and the CCC helped build part of Reelfoot Lake State park too. The camps here are on private property now.
