It would be great if you can help provide some of the following items to keep the club from having to purchase them, which will help keep the expense down and increase the profits for the club. Ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, relish, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, and of course DESSERTS!!! There will be a sign up sheet for these items at the club meeting. If you are not there, and want to bring something, call or me so that we don't have too many of one item and not enough of something else. I also need to know by May 21st if you will be providing any of them. Remember, this is a fund-raiser for YOUR club, and to make it successful YOU need to help make it work!!!

6 6 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 6 A MESSAGE FROM ALNETA MITCHELL Last year 2012 some of the members took left over beans home with them in my containers (half-gallon and gallon jars). At that time I asked those people to bring the jars back to me at the June 2012 Meeting. I have not had the jars returned yet. Please bring them to the May regular meeting. If you choose to keep the jars, cook beans and bring them in "my" jars. This is the best way I have of transporting beans to the National Club Hunt. If I don't have the jars, I don't cook beans!!!!.

7 7 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 7 Club Outing April 21st On Sunday, April 21 st, a group of ITTHC ers ventured to a ghost town that shall remain unnamed. Since we had problems last year with an outing, I suppose this is best. There were some world Class detectorist in this group of 40. A light rain was clearing as we parked on the land. Among the group were men, women and children with one goal, to find something good. Every time something was found, the word would spread across the 300 acres. To the group of hunters that did not find anything, it seemed to be a fruitless trip. But the items found by the determined were: 1901 Barber Dime xf+ Len Eames, 1911D Barber Dime xf+ Doris Bohuslavicky, Barber Half and Barber Quarter Mac Adams, Barber Quarter Tyler Adams, Trade token, toy car, military button, Ken Fanning, 1916D Penny Matt Fortney, 1897 Indian Head Penny Juan Ortegon, Buffalo Nickel John Hayworth, 1916D Penny Ronnie Duncan, 1908 Barber Quarter Shawson Hebert. I m sure my list is incomplete so my apologies to those I left out. My observation about the outing is while many excellent hunters did not find anything, there were some good items found. And Lee Wierzchowski found another Birthday. Wally Dick

This and

9 9 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 9 the high price of silver didn't supply sufficient starting capital for next year's National Hunt. The estimated cost of this hunt was $7,000.
