We held our Annual Picnic & Club Hunt at the Gallatin City Park on October 17,  2009.  It was cloudy and cool all day... Perfect for metal detecting !

Together with many family members we all had a great time.  It's all due to the hard work of our club officers, committees and volunteers as well as those who support our funding projects during the year.  Let's not forget either all of the folks who either contributed or solicited for the absolutely great prizes we continue to give away each year.

The date for next year's Club Hunt & Picnic has been set for Saturday, October 16, 2010.  Arrangements have been made to have exactly what we had in 2009.  For a map to the Gallatin Civic Center click here.

The Rules of the Hunt

1.   The hunts are open to all members, but not to their families
     unless they have a family membership. The family memberships
     are $25 instead of the $20 for the single membership. One may
     still obtain a Family Membership at the October club meeting
     by paying the extra $5.

2.   All treasures will be buried in shallow ground, i.e 1 1/2 to 2
     inches below the surface, so be sure to use a small digging
     tool. Please do not forget to cover your holes.

3.   Please stay off the fields while the coins/tokens are being
     planted, unless of course you are part of the team doing the
     planting.

4.   All detectorist must use headphones.

5.   Only persons with detectors and headphones are allowed on the
     field during a hunt. No "helpers".

     a trash can.
