Fun Hunt October 2014 Well, from what I recall, it was a bit of a gloomy day, but all the die hard detectorists were there! It was another great hunt and a big thanks to Phil for obtaining the fantastic prizes.there were going to be a number of hunts, but due to crappy weather we had just one grand hunt
New Bussiness Another fall hunt will take place on October 04 at 9am. Julie will call parks and recreation to make sure the washrooms are open. Marion is donating a casserole and Julie is donating jam to be raffled off tonight.
Phil brought in a bounty hunter metal detector from one of the local pawn shops. It's for sale for $80.00. We were going to buy the detector, but changed our minds after Fred C told the club they not very good. Dennis Myers was our guest speaker and gave an interesting speech. The price of gold is currently $1210 per ounce and silver is $17.90 per ounce. There is some speculation that gold will jump to $6000. per ounce early next year. Dennis talked about real diamonds and man made diamonds. He also talked about other metals related to rings. Dennis is very knowledgable and keep us memorized with his knowledge. Intermission Break at 8:15pm restarted at 8:30pm. Garry would like to donate $50 or more to a charitable organization like the Chatham Kent hospice. He would like us to think about it and vote next meeting. Garry found a gold earring that a young lady lost at Wilsons Conservation Area. He found it under the Chatham Kent Metal Detecting Club.
