Hey, folks! Just a reminder about our upcoming annual Jim Sheldon Memorial Picnic and Hunt on Sunday, July 26th! This hunt is for members of the club, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Special Note: We are watching the weather, as some rain is forecasted over the weekend. If the weather gets bad, we will make the call to cancel the picnic between 8:00am - 8:30am Sunday morning.

I will make another post if the hunt is postponed.

See the below infographic for additional details on the hunt! (Thanks, Holly, for the reminder email and infographic which I pulled all this info from!)

Thanks!

For all you Minelab fans out there, they introduced a new app for detectorists. I've used it a few times already and it is pretty neat.
