5 ITTHC Treasure News Page 5 NATIONAL HUNT REVIEW Summary: 47 th ANNUAL Indian Territory Treasure Hunt May 26 & 27, 2018 at Sapulpa, Oklahoma This years 47 th ANNUAL Indian Territory Treasure Hunt was another outstanding one. The weather was hot and humid with bright sunshine, a little light overcast on Sunday, and high temperatures of around 91. There were 111 entries total in all the hunts, 96 adult entries and 15 Kids. Attendees came from 10 states: Arkansas, California, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas. This year s hunt had a total value of $15,400.00+ in coins and prizes in all of the hunts combined. This hunt has been held ANNUALLY every year on Memorial Day weekend since 1972. 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. Thanks to Cody Reese and Greg Wicks for running and burying the Deep Buried

And again for another year, a Big THANK YOU to Cathy Young for volunteering to head up the concession and doing an OUTSTANDING job! Thanks to the Young family and all the rest of the kitchen crew that did a great job on the concession operation. Many, many compliments were given on the quality of the food served.

Thanks to Jean Dick for getting it all organized on Saturday, the whole crew that helped with checking the Bingo cards that evening, and all those that donated prizes. Thanks to Bob Freeman on his Traditional great job with his 41 st ANNUAL Gold Coin Raffle. Some have held these Traditional posititions many years and it is what makes the hunt go so smoothly. Many of these folks did many other jobs in preparing for and putting on this hunt. And again thanks to all those club members that put in time on the hunt to make it one of the best in the country. And Thank You to all those attending & entering the hunt and supporting the activities surrounding the 47 th ANNUAL Indian Territory Treasure Hunt.
