you can't attend the meeting, then let Linda Bennett know
if you are coming by June 22. Ben plans on the number of
items to be planted based on number of hunters.
Directions to Phil Foster Park
I-95 to Blue Heron Blvd. Go east on
Blue Heron for estimated 4
miles. Cross the bridge over the
intracoastal. At the bottom of the
bridge, turn left into the park.

MAY CLUB HUNT REPORT
Not much to report other than at least 15 attended the 15th
of May hunt at the Kennel Club. It was hot and tough
digging, i.e. a lot of trash! Paul Hamlin reported 59 cents,
some costume jewelry and junk. April Sovich - a few
pennies, mostly real junk. Cheryl Petenbrink - some
change and lots of junk. It was also reported that there
were holes left; Cheryl and April covered what they
saw! Please members I know you know the rules, leave
no evidence of your presence!
Please be advised we are not welcome to metal detect the
properties of the Kennel Club on an individual basis, only as a
scheduled club event with the Kennel Club.
The Kennel Club has enough security problems without us
adding to their having to check each individual on the property!
Thanks everyone!
The plan at this time is to return for another event at a
cooler time! Discussion will be held at the June meeting
regarding another event.

of the club. Thank you, Sue for your assistance.

Stumper this month. Cheryl Petenbrink won $.50 for
having a key. In order to participate in the Mystery Prize
Stumper members must bring in their finds for the month
(junk included, you never know what is going to be in that

The evening was then turned over to all those who
brought their units with them. The "pros" helped the
newbees with their units. It was also helpful to those who
either didn't have a unit or needed help. This part of the

thing at another meeting but going outside with the units.
