Hi, my name is Larry Carpenter.  I think I’ve been a treasure hunter all my life.  I love to go through junk looking for goodies at flea markets, old buildings, attics or anywhere else.  I brought my first good detector in the late 80’s, a Garrett AT4.  Later I bought a Fisher CZ6.   The first club hunt I attended was the 4th Tidewater Coin and Relic Club.  Since then, I think I have only missed about three!!  I will hunt anywhere, but prefer the beach or a lake.   Welcome to tc-rc Larry!!  Glad to have you.

CLUB HUNT

The club will have a fall hunt  run by Sherry with help from Nancy. The hunt will  be Sun Oct 21 at 2:00 P.M. at 30 St in Virginia Beach.

A price has not been set by the club yet, so we'll have to vote on that as a club and post that later.  If you have anymore questions just let me or Nancy know.
 

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS

Have your ideas on what organization would benefit from a donation.  It was told to me by Henry Beck to consider his church for the food pantry – Freewill Baptist.  Also suggested was to have games, ie. Trivial pursuit, etc at the party and have prizes!!!  It’s closer than we think!!

IN REVIEW

 BOOK SIGNING AT SEPT. MEETING

Steve Warren will have copies of his book for sale ($35.00) and to autograph at the September meeting.  Steve's book, entitled Brilliant Victory: The Second Civil War Battle of Cabin Creek, Indian Territory, has received rave reviews.  It's not too early to be thinking about that history buff on your Christmas list.  He will also bring finds he dug from this site.

 There will be DVD copies of his Civil War documentary Last Raid at Cabin Creek for sale as well.   $25.00 for club members.  More info on both can be found on his website located at cabincreek.zapto.org

It was voted on to raise the 2008 dues $5.00 across the board.  So, individual dues is now $20.00 and family dues is $25.00

REFRESHMENTS

Henry Beck will be provided refreshments for September.

FOR SALE
Sherry has 10x & 20x jeweler’s loupes for sale -  $10.00.
