Water Hunting Tips Before even getting started take a good look at the beach. You will usually, especially on ocean beaches, see areas that are washed out. If it has rained recently you may also notice channels where water has run off the upper beach. These would both be good areas to search. If the beach looks flat with no obvious areas try an S pattern. Walk down the beach at a steady pace from knee deep up to the high water mark. Eventually, you should start to find a pocket of targets. Take note of each target and its relative location to the high water mark. Many times, Mother Nature deposits objects of similar weight in the same area or at the same distance from the high water mark. Once you find several targets and they are all located on the same track you can reduce the size of your pattern and just focus on the more productive path. If at any time you hit a pocket of coins, keep digging. Remember, a pocket of coins mean that Mother Nature has deposited these items together and many times you have to dig all of the coins before hitting the deeper, heavier gold targets which may have been masked by the coin signals. It s not uncommon to dig a hundred pennies before recovering a gold ring. I actually used to keep track of the number of coins recovered. On the beaches I was working I knew that for every coins I would end up with a piece of gold. The only problem is when you find two gold rings immediately. Now you know your going to get a sore arm digging holes before your next piece of jewelry Officers President: Greg Wicks Vice President: John Hayworth Secretary: Rachel Hayworth Treasurer: Terry Humphries Parliamentarian: John Freeman Sr. Board: Cody Reese Roger Eaton John Hamilton Jim Nobles Bill Watkins

5 5 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 5 The club outing to Sheppard Point Recreation Area at Heyburn Lake on Sunday, July 16 th The club outing to Sheppard Point Recreation Area at Heyburn Lake on Sunday, July 16 th was another good one. Weather was good with the high temperature was around the 91 mark with a nice breeze out of the East most of the time. But the water temperature was not quite as refreshing as last time. All in all still a good day for an outing to the lake. The club supplied hamburgers, hot links, hot dogs, buns, condiments, & chips. Once again Roger Eaton manning the grill. Good job Roger and thanks again. And Thanks to John Hamilton for picking up from the ITTHC storage building the club s grill and tables. There were 33 members standing in line to chow down on burgers, hot dogs, & hot links supplied by the club and the outstanding food assortment brought by club members. There were 54 hamburgers, 24 hot dogs, & 24 hot links consumed, Thanks to all those bringing the great side dishes and desserts. If you went away hungry at this outing, again it was your own fault.

6 6 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 6 After the big feed there were scattered as evenly as possible 207 tokens in a 40 yards X 70 yards designated area. There were 23 tokens for member donated prizes, and 160 tokens for Silver Mercury dimes, 16 tokens for Silver quarters, and 8 tokens for Silver half dollars. When the start signal was given there were 25 water hunters standing at the ready to begin frothing the water. After 1 hour+ of hunting ALL of the tokens were found. We do have some good water hunters in the club. Tokens were painted Wheat Cents, painted aluminum pulltabs, painted & numbered.54 Gallagher Minie bullets, painted dug up Indian Cents, and painted Shield Nickels, V-Nickel & one Half Cent.

And once again, one of the main reasons for this type of outing, besides the food of course, is also, the fun and fellowship of being with people that enjoy the same hobby. And to give non-water hunting members a chance to try their hand at it. There are always extra water detectors & scoops available for use, so if you have not tried water hunting come on out & try it, you might find you like it. If you missed this outing, you missed a good one. Don t miss the next one!

9 9 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 9 - Community Service - Kelly B Todd Cerebral -Palsy Kids Walk/Hunt The Kelly B Todd Cerebral Palsy and Neuro- Muscular Center is a non-profit organization with a center located in Muskogee. The Center has delivered physical therapy to children and young adults with physical challenges in the Muskogee area at no cost to the families for 42 years. The biggest fund raiser of the year is the Kelly B Todd Walk and is to be held at Civitan Park on the east side of Muskogee across the street from the Oklahoma School for the Blind on Gibson Street on Saturday Sept 9th. It is open to the public at no cost. This is a day full of fun activities including games, food, door prizes, horse back riding, music and lots of exciting things to do. For the last Eleven years, volunteers from both the Three Forks Treasure Hunters Club, Indian Territory Treasure Hunters Club and Tulsey Town Treasure Hunters Club have helped organize a hunt for the kids. We have been told by several of the organizers that this is by far the biggest hit of the day and they have once again asked us to help with this year s event. What we need is a lot of volunteers. We need people to help the kids hunt, people to run the prize booth and just people to help promote our hobby. We also need metal detectors for the kids to use during the hunt & junk jewelry for them to find. If you need more information or have any questions please contact Chuck Marcum or Gary Young. We will be setting the hunt field and canopy up at 9:00 a.m. Gary will have more info at the club meetings. We hope to see everyone there. Expect lots of fun & a great and rewarding day!
