I heard that one of our newest club members, Jose-Luis, last month found a beautiful
silver bracelet using his Fisher Gold Bug metal detector with the small 5-inch coil during one of the club’s many outings. Good Job Jose-Luis
Newsletter reporter, Steve Cunningham, has emailed me the James Welling Park club outing results that was attended by nine club members and guests. Bill Wise found a very nice silver ring and a wheat penny among numerous clads, Paul Clary found a wheat penny and plenty of clad coins also. Mark Krieger found an area that produced lots of quarters. Christine Wisnom was accompanied by her husband, Wade, who became her personal digger. The big winner was young Connor Krieger (Mark’s son) who found a miniature plastic Orioles batter’s hat. Good Job Conner!
If you are interested or new to the metal detecting hobby, I will be available to give you some Fast Tracking basic 101 metal detecting tips. A metal detector will be provided for the on-hand field instructions and park permit certification. Call me, Alvin “Bud“ Lamb, at 443-655-2908 or e-mail me at … for an appointment time.
Remember, a mini-hunt will start at 6:30 pm Tuesday, before the regular meeting, for the NO DIGGING hunt at the Victory Villa grounds, so bring your metal detectors and pinpointers. The regular meeting starts at 7 pm.
There is a grrreat program planned for tonight, and I will be there also to tell anyone who is willing to listen about my stay in the VA Hospital. I will provide a sign-up sheet, as well.
C. U. later,
Alvin “ Bud “ Lamb
