Treasure News - Community Service Kelly B Todd Cerebral -Palsy Kids Walk/Hunt Page 5 A few club volunteers at previous Kelly B Todd Hunts - Gary Young - Volunteers Needed for The Kelly B Todd Cerebral Palsy and NeuroMuscular 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 4 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 8th. It is open to the public at no cost. the Kelly B Todd -James Marcum- Hunt 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 twelve years, volunteers from both the Three Forks, ITTHC and TTTHC Metal Detecting Clubs 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! Kids Sat. Sept 8th Muskogee, OK - Bill Watkins - (See article this page) Join the fun & be a hero!

6 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 6 6 Club outing to Flat Rock Recreation Area at Fort Gibson Lake on Sunday, August 9 th Overcast to partly sunny with a little rain, high temperature about 8, lake water was nice & cool, the club outing to Flat Rock Recreation Area at Fort Gibson Lake on Sunday, August 9 th was another good one. A little weather excitement as we were about to break camp. There was a reported tornado on the ground near the junction of US Highway 4 & US Highway 69 moving to the Northeast, 0 miles North of where we were located. All the while the sun was shinning at our location. We knew we were probably safe as we did not see any cows flying through the air. The club supplied hamburgers, hot links, hot dogs, buns, condiments, & chips. Roger Eaton handled the hot job of cooking. Good job Roger, Thank You! Thanks to Greg Wicks for transporting the club grill & tables to and from the club storage. There were 4 members standing in line to chow down on burgers, hot dogs, hot links and outstanding assortment of food brought by club members. Thanks to all those bringing the side dishes and desserts. If you went away hungry at this outing, again it was your own fault.

7 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 7 7 After the big feed there were scattered as evenly as possible tokens in a 50 yards X 0 yards, more limited because of the lake level being up over feet. There were 0 tokens for member donated prizes, and 77 tokens for Mercury Dimes, 7 tokens for Silver Quarters, & 9 tokens for Silver Halves. 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. When the start signal was given there were 7 water hunters frothing the water. After hour+ of hunting all of the prize token bullets were found. Amd 49 Mercury Dimes, 5 tokens for Silver Quarters, & 4 tokens for a Silver Halves were not recovered. And now as Paul Harvey & Wally would say The Rest of the Story. Somewhere in the designated area your sower of tokens lost track of one quadrant s bag of tokens. This bag contained 45 Mercury Dime tokens, 4 Silver Quarter tokens, & Silver Half Dollar tokens. The missing bag was NOT found even during the hunt period! The bag of tokens is still out there somewhere. So, of the tokens that were actually scattered there were only 4 Mercury Dime tokens, Silver Quarter token, & Silver Half Dollar tokens not found. The unfound coins, including the bag count, will probably be added to the 08 Water Hunting Season Finale in September. Member donated prizes: 5 Thermal bag & Buffalo nickel collection display book donated by Wally & Jean Dick won by Lee Wierzchowski. $5.00 donated by Roger Eaton won by Ken Fanning. Rain gauge & raincoat donated by Ken Fanning won by Mike Owens. Water hunting pouch donated by John (JJ) Freeman won by Cody Reese. $5.00 donated by Cody Reese won by Bill Rouse. Jar of pickled okra & $5.00 donated by Howie Rosser won by David Fuller. $5.00 Walmart card donated by Bill Rouse won by Wally Dick. 4 AA Energizer Batteries donated by Greg Wicks won by Roger Eaton. Silver Quarter & $5.00 donated by Lee Wierzchowski won by David Fuller. Some of the higher totals found were: Wally Dick 8 Mercury Dimes, 4 Silver Quarters, Silver Halves, & prize token. Bill Rouse 7 Mercury Dimes, Silver Quarter, & prize token. Bob Avey Mercury Dime, Silver Half, & prize token. John (JJ) Freeman Mercury Dime, Silver Half, & prize token. Ken Fanning Mercury Dimes & prize token. David Fuller 8 Mercury Dimes, Silver Quarter & prize tokens. Cody Reese 9 Mercury Dimes, Silver Quarter, & prize token. Greg Wicks 9 Mercury Dimes & Silver Half Dollar. The winner of $5.50 in the Raffle was Greg Wicks. Thanks to Jean & Wally Dick for running the 50/50 raffle.

8 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 8 8 And after a short wait for the tornado to move out of the junction area of US Highway 4 & US Highway 69, ITTHC members left a full lake & headed home with a full belly and a smile on their face! Again, one of the main reasons for this type of outing, besides the food of course, is to give non-water hunting members a chance to try their hand at it. Also, the fun and fellowship of being with people that enjoy the same hobby. Again, if you missed this outing, you missed a good one. Don t miss the next one!
