Hunts are fun when you can find tokens and other interesting items.

i did a little research and ...woodmen of the world is a benevolent group i guess similar to the masons and such and has turned into a multi-billion insurance group as well with alot of secrecy inside the organization

Great token! :clapping: Since it was golden anniversary, it sure would've been nice if it were a GOLD token lol Love all the old pics and info. One of my fave parts of detecting is researching the relics...

btw I was counselor/naturalist at Woodmen of the World Youth Camp about 25 yrs ago :yes:

thanks again tanacat for your response. i too enjoy the hunt after the hunt and learning about my finds. plus i am amazed at the knowledge shared on this forum. until now i had never heard of this organizations. i live in a high rise apartment building since taking my military disability pension. i am one of the younger people here at 58. there are 96 people that live here. the reason i am saying all this i have a following of sorts...a bunch of older ladies which i call the hens...they are always cackling...that ask to see what i have found. i showed 5 of them this token and 2 knew the company/organization!
