I wish to thank Dick, Frank, Lois, Kim, and of course my wife Helen for showing up early and helping out setting up and planting coins. A special thanks to Lois Powell for donating the jewelry, wheat pennies, coins, and other items that made the hunt field more interesting. We have been getting new faces at almost every meeting. We welcome them and the interest they have in the club. Our next meeting will be Wednesday June 18th. Sorry for the change of days, but the library isn't available on Tuesdays for June & July. See you at the meeting, Jerry - = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = - MAY 2008 FINDS Coins Dick Loderhose 1909 wheat penny 1st place Dan Autery 1940 nickel 2nd place Frank Griffith 1996 Canada 2 dollar Jerry Lynn 1988 quarter Kerry Leverett 1992 quarter Jim Wilson 1967 Canadian quarter Lois Powell 1999 dime Lyle Thomas Pres.
