1 THE SILVER SIGNAL Next Club Meeting April 27th :30 p.m. Lone Star Club Executive Officers Robert Jordan President Dave Totzke Vice-President Ellen Jackson Secretary Ronnie Morris. Treasure President s Chatter.By Robert Jordan Hello to all. Hope you have been well. I am not aware of any members in the way of the wave of bad weather; we just got lots of rain, although it affected work. I am so happy that Robert Jeffrey is taking good care of the Newsletter and the Website. We are truly lucky to have his computer knowledge available to help our Club. I enjoyed our own Peter Krell s presentation on water hunting. He did a wonderful job of giving honest information, all that glitters isn t gold. For those interested in water hunting we should aim for a club water hunt after a big Holiday weekend. Speaking of Club Hunts, Paul Wilson has worked up another Club Relic Hunt down near Goldwaith. Our Spring Hunt 2012 is planned for May 12 th. It will take place at Samuel Farm Park in Mesquite and start at 10:00am. You must be a current member with dues paid to participate. We are asking you to pay the Hunt Fee of $25 at the next meeting. We had more visitors join the Club at the last meeting. What a wonderful trend. I wish to remind all to: respect private property, cover your holes, and carry off your trash. Remember; leave those deep silver signals for me. See you on Friday April 27 th.

He and Ellen Jackson shared their experiences gaining permits for hunting in the lake parks. Ivan Santos asks for update Ivan brought give-away items Mike skinner introduce cameraman Mike with Channel 11 news /Star Telegram. Robert Jordan presented Peter Krell with a Lone Star carrying bag (for last year s committee service). Robert Jeffrey was also presented a bag. Leeta also received a bag for service last year. Treasurers report: Robert Jordan read the financial report. OLD BUSINESS: The TCTC treasure show had only modest attendance due to the heavy rains. The club did not do particularly well on the raffle. Lone Star members did very well as winners of the different raffles. Paul Wilson called Vickie Bryant to discuss a hunt on the old Casino property. Due to intervening circumstances the meeting hasn t happened yet. NEW BUSINESS DISCUSSED The Texas Council of Treasure Clubs (TCTC) has had to disband and reorganize as the Texas Association of Metal Detectors. Terry is man in charge. Need to think how to bring something new to the annual shows. They ve had the same displays year after year.
