Sponsors' Prizes for our October 12th CTTC Open Hunt are Coming In!

 

Thanks to our returning CTTC Hunt Sponsor Mid-Tex Federal Credit Union of Brownwood, we were able to purchase FOUR Treasure Wise 3-in-1 Digging Knives with their generous donation. They arrived today and will be awarded as token prizes at our October 12th Central Texas Treasure Club's Open Hunt in Brownwood!
I've been using my 3-in-1 Digging Knife for the past 42 years! In my opinion, they are the best digging tools on the market! They cost about $30 each and they'll last you a lifetime of digging treasure!

CTTC 43rd Birthday Regular Monthly Meeting - Tuesday, August 6th!

 

I welcome ALL of you to come to the 43rd Birthday Meeting of our Central Texas Treasure Club this Tuesday, August 6th at 6:30 p.m. at the old Early Chamber of Commerce Bldg. at 104 E. Industrial Blvd. in Early Texas!
I want to offer a bold challenge to everyone reading this message. Since I took office as Club President in 2018, our largest meeting attendance has been 38 people. I'd like for us to top that number at this meeting. I want our Members to bring their family members and guests and I want all non-Members who have an interest in history and/or metal detecting/treasure hunting to attend!
Here are some good reasons to come. We will have free refreshments including a birthday cake, we'll hold our regular Finds-of-the-Month Contest where Members will display their best metal detected finds for this past month and everyone will get to vote on which finds they think are the best, we'll be accepting Early Bird Entries for our big 2024 CTTC Open Hunt on October 12th, dues-lapsed Members will be able to get current on their dues, we'll hold our regular door prize drawing for several nice prizes including a 90% silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar and everyone is allowed to purchase tickets at $1 donation for each, business owners can become CTTC Hunt Sponsors by donating cash or prizes, and you can purchase as many CTTC Gold Coin Raffle tickets as you want for a chance to win one of more of the 3 valuable coins we'll be giving away after our Open Hunt on October 12th!
CTTC SILVER PEACE DOLLAR FUNDRAISING RAFFLE!
Tickets for this Raffle will be $2 each and both Members and non-members may purchase as many tickets as you want. The catch is that these tickets will ONLY be sold during our August 6th and September 3rd regular monthly CTTC meetings! The silver dollar will be raffled off near the end of the September 3rd meeting when we hold our other usual raffles. So to buy tickets, you must attend at least one of these meetings. All money collected will go to benefit the Central Texas Treasure Club.
I also have a couple of SURPRISE SPECIAL GUESTS who plan to attend and give a brief program at the end of this meeting!
