Finds of the Month Guidelines
At each meeting club members may enter their finds from the
previous month in each of three categories:
1) Civil War and Pre-Civil War relics
2) Coins
3) Treasure
Club members then vote on first, second and third place in each
category. The winners receive "points" for each place (five
points for first place, three points for second place and one
point for third place). At the end of the year, prizes are
awarded in each category to the persons with the most points in
that category. In addition, the person with the most points
overall, calculated by combining the points earned in all three
categories during the year, is named "Master Hunter of the Year".
Awards for the previous year are presented during the January
meeting. First-, second- and third- place winners in each
category receive a plaque; each first-place winner also receives
a cash prize of $25. The "Master Hunter" winner receives a
plaque and $25. Rules for entry of finds are as follows:
1. Finds must have been made in the month prior to the
meeting. A "month" is the period from one club meeting to
the next (not a calendar month). "Stockpiling" of the items
found during one month for an entry at a later meeting is
not allowed.
2. Only one item may be entered in each category.
3. A "verification committee" examines each entry just before
the break to ensure correct labeling. Any questions about
items entered should be raised then. The owner of the item
submitted must be present at the club meeting until voting
is finished.
4. Items entered must have been found while "actively
hunting". Some examples of "finds" which are not
appropriate for entry would therefore be: (a) a Civil War
Belt buckle you found in the lining of your great-
grandfather's trunk, (b) a valuable coin you received in
change or found while reupholstering a sofa, a ring found
in the parking lot while on your way to your car. These
are simply examples--let the spirit of treasure hunting be
your guide.
5. Any find which is not a Civil War/Pre-Civil War relic or
coin should be entered in the "Treasure" category.
