Guest speakers are always needed. If you have any ideas, please see a TCAS Officer.  

Mitch King spoke to the club about his recent trip to Colchester, England for two weeks of intensive metal detecting. If you were at our Annual Benefit Hunt you may have notice Mitch took off early. He really needed to "catch" an airplane!  

He arrived in England with a cold. The cold mornings and rainy afternoons did not help for the first few days, but that did not stop Mitch. He was using a Minelab Sovereign with a 12 X 10 coil.    

Mitch passed around items that he brought back from last year's trip. He always brings back the previous year's finds when he is over there. Pictures can be seen on the clubs face book site, https://www.facebook.com/tcasfl Go on facebook.com and request to be friends with us so you can see and post to cub members.  

Connie Ordille brought a carrot cake to the meeting and I heard they were very good. Thanks Connie.
