Last week, I decided to invest in this rare copy of "A. T. Evans' Treasure Hunter's Yearbook 1971-1972" with Club funds. It will be part of our Central Texas Treasure Club's Library but will not be loaned out. Members and visitors can read it at our monthly meetings if they arrive early or when they get weary of hearing me talk. It will give you an idea of the kinds of metal detectors being used back then, it includes photos of some of the valuable finds being made with them, and it has several fascinating treasure hunting stories and profiles of some of the best treasure hunters of that period.
I owned a couple of these books from different years until I sold them to fund a failed move to California Gold Country in 1988. I sold almost everything I had that year to help finance the trip. Those books are two of the things I most regret selling as they provided me with many enjoyable hours of reading and motivation.
One more reason to attend our CTTC regular monthly meetings! Our next meeting will be Tuesday, February 4th.
Jay Longley, President, Central Texas Treasure Club
