7 I.T.T.H.C. Treasure News Page 7 Feb 18th - Scavenger Hunt - Chili - Bingo Scanvenger Hunt, Chili Supper Blow Out, & Bingo! On Saturday, February 18th, ITTHC held our annual Scavenger Hunt, Chili Supper Blow Out, and Bingo! The first part of the annual event was the all-day Scavenger Hunt. The club had allocated $100.00 for Mercury dimes for the Scavenger Hunt. About a dozen ITTHC members participated in the Scavenger Hunt in hopes of redeeming even junk for Mercury dimes. For the Scavenger Hunt hunters could hunt anywhere & everywhere for the whole day keeping everything they dug including all the junk. At 4:30 p.m. they met at the Creek County Fairgrounds to display their finds and in hopes of winning Mercury dimes from the categories drawn. Roger Eaton and John Hayworth were in charge of the Scavenger Hunt, would draw the categories of items that counted & handed out the Mercury dimes. What a great way to spend a Saturday in February, digging in the dirt and winning silver dimes for trash as well as treasure. And there were some really good finds made by members while out detecting during the Savenger Hunt. A few of the best reported were a United Confederate Veterans 1913 Reunion Badge found by Shaun Kucera, a Diamond 6-Lever lock & 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter found by Bob Cook, a World War 2 vintage Amateur Softball Association Coca Cola Aware with the WW2 eagle & V for Victory charm for a charm bracelet found by John Freeman Sr. and a 1912 Broken Arrow Dog Tax tag found by Wally Dick.
