CTTC Pre-Hunt Meeting - Tuesday, September 17th at Camp Bowie Memorial Park!

Central Texas Treasure Club 2024 Open Hunt - October 12th!

At our last regular monthly meeting, Members decided to hold our next Central Texas Treasure Club Pre-Hunt Meeting on Tuesday, September 17th at 6:00 p.m. at our new Hunt site - Camp Bowie Memorial Park, across from the Hospital, in Brownwood. Members who qualified for the opportunity to win a valuable 1923 Brilliant Uncirculated Peace silver dollar, at the meeting, can win it simply by turning in the most money from Gold Coin Raffle ticket sales and Hunt Sponsors' donations at this Pre-Hunt Meeting! Whether you made the qualified list or not, you're still urged to turn in your ticket and Sponsor proceeds at the Pre-Hunt Meeting so we have time to order Hunt token prizes with the money and pay for the enormous amount of silver coins that will be seeded in the field.

As always, non-members are also encouraged to attend. You may turn in your Early Bird Entries, Sponsor our Hunt with a donation, or join our Club at this special meeting. You can find printable copies of our Hunt flyer/registration form and our CTTC 2024 Gold Coin Raffle flyer in our Club's Facebook group's Files section or you can request yours by emailing us at: centraltexastreasureclub@gmail.com. Time is running out for us to order Hunt prizes and get them back so it's critically important that you mail in your Entries and Raffle ticket donations as soon as possible.

Weather's Perfect! Get out there and find some treasure!

 

We're finally getting much-needed rain and moderate temperatures in the Central Texas area so the weather is perfect for metal detecting and treasure hunting! Although, this time of year, our Club pages focus a lot on our upcoming Open Hunt, we must never forget that our main purpose is educating people on this amazing hobby and getting outdoors and enjoying it ourselves! For me, this is the best time of the year for detecting and I intend to enjoy it fully! I hope each of you will too.

Some photos from the past.

2. Our Members metal detecting during our 2023 CTTC Fall Picnic at an area city park where we have permission for our Members to detect.
3. Finds I made in Brownwood in a 2-hour detecting outing in November 2019. Pictured is a beautiful 10k gold necklace with over 100 stones that I found that day. The necklace alone paid for my Tesoro Mojave detector TWICE over!

Thank You, John Southworth!

 We owe a debt of gratitude to our Club's longtime friend and supporter John Southworth who has greatly helped our Club ever since my first year as President in 2018! For this year's Central Texas Treasure Club's Open Hunt, John made a Hunt Sponsorship donation which was used to purchase TWO of the BU 1921 Morgan Silver Dollars that will token prizes for this year's Hunt Entrants to compete for. He also bought some Gold Coin Raffle tickets. The profit from the sale of these tickets will also be spent on Hunt prizes! Let John know that you appreciate his support of our Club and our Hobby!

Thank You, Central Texas Medical Clinic - Returning CTTC Hunt Sponsor!

 "Thank you!" to Central Texas Medical Clinic and our CTTC Member Michael Schultz for their generous CTTC Hunt Sponsorship donation which allowed us to purchase TWO Brilliant Uncirculated 1921 Morgan Silver Dollars which will be included in the 12 BU Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars our Central Texas Treasure Club will be giving away as token prizes after our 2024 CTTC Open Hunt in Brownwood on October 12th. We've never given away this many old silver dollars before!

This donation makes a total, so far, of 7 of these valuable coins that we have Sponsors for so we still need some new Hunt Sponsors to step up and cover the cost of the remaining 5. A business can donate $50 for the price of one silver dollar (valued at between $64-$78) or for a $100 donation, you can purchase 2 of them under your business or individual name.

SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS! THEY SUPPORT OUR CLUB & HOBBY!

Tobacco Treasure & Fun Parlor of Brownwood - Returning CTTC Hunt Sponsor!

 

Thank You to returning Central Texas Hunt Sponsor for 2024 Tobacco Treasure & Fun Parlor at Main and West Baker Streets in downtown Brownwood!

They donated the money used to purchase this beautiful Brilliant Uncirculated 2004 Thomas Alva Edison 90% silver dollar coin. The value of this commemorative silver dollar is about $65! It will be a token prize at this year's Open Hunt in Brownwood. This silver dollar will not be counted as one of the twelve BU Morgan and Peace silver dollars that we'll have as token prizes this year. We already have Sponsors for 7 of those 12 coins so 5 more are available. A business or individual may become a CTTC 2024 Hunt Sponsor by donating $50 cash for one of the silver dollars or $100 for two of them. Keep this in mind when recruiting CTTC Hunt Sponsors.
