Members and their guests are invited to the annual club picnic and
relic hunt put on each year. Only members, who have paid their dues
by the announced date are allowed to participate in the relic hunt.
This rule is strickly enforced. Many great prizes are awarded in the hunt
and there is plenty of food and drink to be enjoyed by all. The top prize
awarded is a new metal detector. See "OUR YEARLY CLUB PICNIC" in the index.
Many of our members live out of state and even some out of the country.
