This hunt has been held ANNUALLY every year on Memorial Day weekend since And again, for the 47 th time, big thanks to all those ITTHC members and non-members for their help in making this hunt go as smoothly as it does. And the club as a whole for their continuing support of this hunt. Thanks to Vickie Owens for doing her Traditional great job with the registration & camping fees collection. And again it is the Creek County Fair Board that sets the camping fees for the fairgrounds, NOT the ITTHC. Jim Nobles did his Traditionally great job at dual service on the prize board and the Buttons & Bows Hunt. Thanks again Jim. And also a big thanks to all those donating prizes to the hunt. And a big thank you to the detector manufactures, detector distributors, detector dealers, ITTHC club member and those non-club members making prize donations to the 47 th ANNUAL Indian Territory Treasure Hunt. It is a big part of making this hunt one of the best in the country. An extended Thank You to Fisher Metal Detectors, Garrett Metal Detectors, & American Detector Distributors for their OUTSTANDING donations to not only this year s hunt but also for the MANY years of supporting this hunt and the ITTHC. This kind of support is the reason that the Indian Territory Treasure Hunt is one of the best, if not THE best hunts in the country year after year. THANK YOU.
