CTTC Members & Families Annual Picnic & Hunt - Saturday, October 17th!

Our annual CTTC Open Hunt was a great success!  But that doesn't mean the fun is over for this month.  We will hold our Annual Central Texas Treasure Club Picnic & Hunt for dues-paid Club Members and their families this Saturday, October 17th, at Comanche Park in Comanche, Texas!  All Members and their families are encouraged to attend.  This event is always a lot of fun and a great way to get to know each other better.

We will start gathering at the park at 10:00 a.m.  Joshua will probably start cooking the hot dogs about 11:00 and when everyone has eaten their fill and has relaxed a bit, we'll enjoy our Picnic Hunt which will last 60 minutes.  I will bury one prize token before the Hunt.  The finder of it will win a beautiful 1982-S George Washington Commemorative Proof 90% Silver Half Dollar with box and Certificate of Authenticity from the U.S. Mint.  I'll also bury several tokens for some smaller prizes.

If you're not yet a CTTC dues-paid Member and would like to attend, you can contact me and I can sign you up.   Annual 1-Year (12 full months) dues are:  Individual - $20, Family - $25.

Let's Have a Good Time in Comanche, Texas!

2026 Central Texas Treasure Club Open Hunt Sponsors Needed!

 We already have lots of valuable metal detecting & treasure hunting prizes that will be given away to token-finders next Saturday at next Saturday's Central Texas Treasure Club Friou Allen Memorial Open Hunt, BUT we have A LOT MORE BIG SILVER and OTHER PRIZES IN STOCK AWAITING HUNT SPONSORS! We only have a few days left for you or your business to help out. The way our Club is able to offer great Open Hunts, when many other hunt hosts have stopped having them, is by having plenty of helpful individual and business Hunt Sponsors. That's the reason we're able to give away so many valuable prizes with such an affordable Entry Fee - $40 now thru Hunt Day. Un-sponsored prizes that we've purchased that don't get Sponsors to cover their price will not have tokens buried for them. They'll be retained by the Club and will be used for other Central Texas Treasure Club Members-Only Events after this year's Hunt. 

 Here are a few of the many valuable prizes that still need Hunt Sponsors' Donations to make them available for our Entrants to compete for on Saturday, October 10th. If you or your business wants to Sponsor one or more of these or the other prizes in stock, call me at: 325-646-1000 (no text) or email us at: centraltexastreasureclub@gmail.com 

 

One Ounce "Don't Tread on Me" .999 Fine Silver Round. $75 Sponsorship Donation.

One Ounce Buffalo-Indian Liberty .999 Fine Silver Bar. $75 Sponsorship Donation.

One Ounce Unity & Liberty .999 Fine Silver Bar. $75 Sponsorship Donation.

 

Thank You!
