inutes of Treasure Coast Archeological society Meeting May 2, 2007.
The May meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by our club President, Jim Stewart. Richard Hart, Jr. opened the meeting by leading the club in the Pledge of
Allegiance. The minutes were read and accepted There were 26 members and two visitors present. Mary McGee signed up a new member. His name is Mark Holshoe.
Mary McGee talked about the Mel Fisher Summer Treasure Camp that will be held on June 14 and June 22. Time: They are asking for volunteers to
work with the children.
Mary said that she sent thank you cards to Larry Cohen and Tim Whitmarsh for the program they presented in April about the White's metal detectors.
Mary also advised us that reservations have been made at Hobart Kiwanis Park in Fellsmere for the Benefit hunt in 2008.
If you have silver you want to sell, the club will buy it at the going rate of 9 or 10 times face value.
Neil Normando read a paper he got off the internet about Cambodia's poor scavenging for unexploded ordinance. They sell the scrap metal. If
lucky, they can collect 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of scrap metal a day. He got the information from CNN.com
Jim Stewart took a survey as to how many people want to buy a club shirt. Mary McGee suggested buying "V"-neck shirts for the women. A show of
hands showed that all the women would like the "V"-neck style. Jim Stewart will look into pricing.
Jim Stewart wants to have a road trip to Daytona Beach for a club hunt. During break, those that were interested signed up for the date they would
be most interested in. May 19 is the date decided upon. Those interested in going will carpool to Daytona Beach.
