HAD OUR CLUB HUNT THIS WEEKEND........

Was one of the best ones yet! The weather was awesome and the turn out was great, nothing bad about the whole weekend! :)
After we got to the camp ground we gatherd up all that wanted to go and went to a grass field where two old farm houses sat years ago.
Not long into the hunt our vice president hollered WOOO HOOOO!!!! He had got his first Indian head penny ever! about ten minutes later he got #2 right near that one! Before he left that 10 ft circle he had #3 and his first Civil War token! The dates were 1900, 1900, 1861, and the token was 1863.
Here I am giving him a big congrats and a pic of his coins!

I got two Indians at the field also 1892, and 1887 and a nice crotal bell not in pic. Then we had a short seeded hunt back at the campground. There were 24 people looking for 3 tokens, but we also had old foriegn coins and Buffs and V's planted. Here is my take. Buff 1937, V 1904, foriegn coins 1952, 1923, 1918, 1918. and my two Indians from the fellowship hunt.

Then we sat around the campfire till midnight. We were up early as this was the main day. Breakfast, then a church service that was done by Al Holden from the metal detector dealership that donates to the Christian forum hunts. He had to take it easy as he is still healing from his cancer treatments. Please continue to pray for him. Great sermon Al. 28 in attendance. Here is Al and an interpreter for our hearing impaired guys. Then we had a kids hunt. 12 kids. Here is my daughter Shelby helping the youngest participant. man was he the star of the show by how excited he was on every coin he found! :)

Next was a potluck at noon. We had over 60 people there at that time. Now it is time for the two main hunts. 30 hunters. Here are some pics of club members who also post here, and other pics.

Our kids from the kids hunt.

My take from the two hunts. I was using a different machine than I have ever used and found out 3/4 way through the first hunt that I was in all metal! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I wasted several minutes total digging junk! Second hunt was much better. I would have likely found 6 or 8 more coins?

WOW! WOW! WOW! Now that is a nice club hunt and a large group attending! Looks like you all did just great incouding the little kiddos! God blessed you all and especially you, Mike, me son, and a very nice collection of silver coins plus foreign ones! Oh, how I miss our club hunts, but just cannot attend any more! Keeps me busy trying to take care of Cliff and do a little house work and cooking! May God bless everyone continuously! Shelby is really a pretty young lady! You may have to carry a shotgun now or later to keep the young men away! :rofl: You have a nice family and you are raising them up correctly in the Lord's sight, too! Congrats! :thumbup: :) :angel:
God Bless! Betty
 
No worries about needing a shotgun! I got two hands that can wring a neck pretty easy! I figure when they come a calling I will lay all my guns out on the table and tell them to pick one. And when they say why I will say I need to know what one to use on you if you ever hurt my daughter!!!!!!! :stars:
 
That looked like it was a blast . That sounds like a metal detectorist dream , a church service ,food and detecting. WOW. Nice pictures also .
 
Mike-Thanks for the post and pics. Looks like you have a great MD club. Nice finds. Look forward to meeting you all in September.
 
It looks like the real you! :) It was a great weekend! :)
 
:detecting: Great Club! Wonderful Friends! Good Finds!

Hey Mike :clapping: Thanks for sharing the club's hunt, pictures, and finds. Who knows ~ maybe one of these days I'll get all the way down to Plainwell for some of the fun? Yesterday I felt considerably better and today I think I'll go hunting for an hour or so to build my arm back up so I can swing that thing this summer. You've club's a nice bunch and I look forward to meeting them all someday. Do have a great weekend coming and God bless...
