Founded in 1959, Shasta Miners & Prospectors Association is a non-profit organization that helps small-scale miners and pro-spectors while educating the public about mining. The Association offers gold-bearing claims that the members can enjoy using with full access and we hold monthly meetings that are open to the public.

The June 16 2016 Meeting is cancelled. The next regularly scheduled meeting is July 21, 2016.
Unusual circumstances for June occurred: All officers and Committee Chairs are
unable to attend the June meeting due to various reasons such as school gradua-
tions, family matters and vacations and work commitments. This leaves no one
able attend to the details of the administrative functions to conduct the meeting.
The Board of Directors came to the decision that it would best to cancel this
meeting. The regularly scheduled guided outings at our claims and metal detect-
ing will resume in July.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing everyone at
the July 21 meeting.
Sincerely
SMPA Board of Directors

A letter from our President, Diana Clayton
Dear Shasta Miners and Prospectors: I have been President since 2010. June has al-
ways been a hard month because of all the activi-
ties. This June, coincidently, all of our directors,
officers and chairs have commitments to family,
vacations, work and health which fall on the meet-
ing date. I hope everyone understands the reasons
for cancelling the June meeting. July 21, 2016
we meet as usual. I hope everyone is enjoying
their summer and are able to get out and search
for treasures. . Be sure to check our display at the Shasta County Fair.

HELLO FELLOW MINERS,
I hope everyone is successful at staying cool in this
hot weather. The Shasta district fair is HERE – so if
you have time and are willing to volunteer –please
get ahold of James Stevens as he is now our chairperson. His
numbers are home -530-347-1679 or cell 530-945-3401. The fair
is being held June 15th thru June 18th. He will be needing a lot of
help as most of the officers will be out of town during that time.
Hoping that all our dad’s in the club have a great dad’s day. Re-
minder that the last weekend in July is our annual outing – loca-
tion will be Douglas city campground – there will probably be a
nightly space charge. I am looking to this event as we always have lots of fun, fun, fun!!! Our annual picnic is to be held on August
20th. It is always lots of fun and games for the whole family. Due to circumstances beyond our control – THERE WILL NOT BE A
JUNE MEETING!!! So I hope to see everyone at the July 21st meeting.
Guided Metal Detector Outings: Guided metal detecting outing usually occur on the Second Sat. morning after our
regular scheduled meeting. The location of the hunt is announced at the general meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting please contact Bill Doyle, Metal Detecting Chair. Email: [email protected] or call (530) -549 -3039
Guided Claims Outings: Guided Claims outings are scheduled the first Sat. following the general meeting. For more information contact Michael Abernathy, Claims Chair. Email: [email protected] or call 530) 638-6717

May Metal Detecting Outings
The May Outing was held at West Cottonwood School. Those in attendance were Val
Smalley, Don Hecmeyer, Robert Graff and Me. We all got coinage; however the hits were
sparse.
Later in the day Val Smalley, Robert Graff, Susan Doyle and I went to West Valley High
School where the annual Strawberry Festival was ending. We all got a few coins and Robert
Graff recovered a beautiful silver neckless.
The June Outing will be held at North Cottonwood School, located at 19920 Gas Point Road.
We will meet in the parking lot at 9:00 am on Saturday, June 25th.
Make sure to mark you calendars for the July Outing at the Redding Convention Center fol-
lowing the fireworks display on the Fourth of July. For those of you that have not experienced
a night hunt, come join in the fun.
The Hidden Coin is Still Out There
LOOK IN ANDERSON CITY PARK AT
THE COTTONWOOD GROVE
LOOK FOR COVERED TABLES AND
IS A SMALL AREA TO SEARCH.
