There was a good turnout. Around 30 people were there, including two guests. The majority of the time was spent on club business. VP Sue Chonoles shared her tips for the month, and shared more information on the club shirts. Treasurer Laurie Haire gave the Treasurer’s report. After the break, long-time member Paul Hamlin shared tips about hunting in the water. Submitted by Jack Kazee The Hunt Finally Happened! After being rained out in May, the hunt in Jupiter was rescheduled for June 10th. Twelve of us met Dave and Sue Chonoles in the parking lot of Anything Batteries, and carpooled over to the hunt location. Once there, we fanned out on the beach. It turned out to be a very clean beach. Very little trash was found, and just a handful of coins. We covered about a half-mile of beach. There was a cut that started out at least 10 feet high, and gradually tapered down to just a foot or two. I think we all hit that section, but the beach just wasn’t giving anything up that day. We hunted the beach for a few hours before calling it a day. After the hunt, we met at Lighthouse Diner for some great food. Unfortunately, the ones who worked so hard to put on this hunt were not able to join in the fun. Dave and Sue were dealing with some issues with their house, so they could only get us to the location before they had to leave us. Thank you Dave and Sue for your hard work putting on this hunt! Club Secretary Needed We are looking for someone to serve as Club Secretary. If you would like to serve in this capacity, please let the Board know.  The Tinfoil Times Page 3 Best Finds May 2018 Best Gold With Stone Kevin Bean Best Gold Paul Hamlin Best Costume (Tie) Kevin Bean April Sovich Best Silver Paul Hamlin Most Unusual Laurie Haire Best Coin Arnie Steiner June Winners Arnie Steiner April Sovich Paul Hamlin Laurie Haire Kevin Bean  Advertise in the Tinfoil Times Business card ads are $25 per year.
