    Weekend Club Fun Hunt

    Thank you Tom for hosting the club fun hunt. I had a great time there. I didn't get back in time to eat but heard some awesome reviews on your food. I also heard some comments about making you our official club cook. LOL. Thanks again for a great time.

    Question About Large Cent Target ID Numbers

    WOO HOO! Finally Made The 1800's Club For This Year

    I was beginning to think my detector was jinxed. Even the Indians I've found couldn't get me into this years 1800's club.

    Anyone Interested In A Sunday Hunt

    I'm thinking about going to Bradley Park Sunday (tomorrow). If anyone wants to join me I'll be parked at the pavilion by the tennis courts below the hill. If you don't see me there check out the parking area just uphill behind the pavilion. I drive a red Toyota pickup with a white topper.
