On Saturday, February 18th, ITTHC held our annual “ScavengerHunt, Chili Supper Blow Out, and Bingo!” The first part of theannual event was the all-day “Scavenger Hunt”. The club hadallocated $100.00 for Mercury dimes for the Scavenger Hunt. Abouta dozen ITTHC members participated in the Scavenger Hunt inhopes of redeeming even junk for Mercury dimes. For the ScavengerHunt hunters could hunt anywhere & everywhere for the whole daykeeping everything they dug including all the junk. At 4:30 p.m.they met at the Creek County Fairgrounds to display their finds andin hopes of winning Mercury dimes from the categories drawn.

Roger Eaton and John Hayworth were in charge of the ScavengerHunt, would draw the categories of items that counted & handed outthe Mercury dimes. What a great way to spend a Saturday inFebruary, digging in the dirt and winning silver dimes for trash aswell as treasure.

And there were some really good finds made by members while outdetecting during the Savenger Hunt. A few of the best reported werea United Confederate Veterans 1913 Reunion Badge found by ShaunKucera, a Diamond 6-Lever lock & 1917-S Standing LibertyQuarter found by Bob Cook, a World War 2 vintage AmateurSoftball 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.
