8 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 8 CLUB OUTINGS CHOSEN BY MEMBERS In the past few weeks we have been having difficulties in finding places for a club hunt. Either because we cannot make contact with the landowners, or because of people not showing respect for the property & landowner by just entering the property without permission to detect, or by leaving gates open & breaking down fence and multiple other reasons. If any of the members know of any property that would make a good place for a club hunt and they want to try to get permission from the landowner for this property then feel free to ask the landowner for permission. However, before doing this, the property needs to be around forty acres for twenty to forty members to hunt on. Also, you will need to actually go to the site and visually check it out to see if one could actually hunt on it. That is, is the grass short enough, is it inundated with cattle, does it have parking nearby for several cars, and any other obstacles that you feel will hinder hunting. If you do talk to the landowner introduce yourself and be courteous and tell him that you belong to a metal detecting group and that you are looking for a place to hunt for relics etc. for around twenty to forty people. Be sure to mention that we do cover up the holes that we dig and we will treat his property with respect. We will leave the property as we found it. Even if you just have a family member or friend close to an area of interest, they may know the landowner. And that could make for a good local introduction to the landowner if they are on friendly terms. If you know of a site that you think has some historical significance (civil war, oil field boomtown, ghost town, etc.) and need help obtaining the property owners name and location or need help with research on a site to determine its history, let an officer or board member know about the site. For research purposes a geographical location is needed. It can be quarter section-section-township-range (i.e. -NW ¼ Section 20 T29N R10W), latitudelongitude, EMS address (these are geo referenced), or just mark the location on a map (topographic map or road map). Contact Greg Wicks via email: wicks918@gmail.com or call (918) 697-8490.
