August's Club Member Outing by Tom Smith

The August outing was at Laurelhurst Park and it was another beautiful morning to be out detecting.

Laurelhurst Park has been hunted a lot over the years but some good stuff was still found. Mike Nanson found a 1911 V and 1936 Buffalo nickels, and a 1925-S Mercury dime. Chris Beniston found a really nice 14K gold ring and two Mercury dimes. Don Spillman found a Mercury and a Roosevelt silver dime and a silver Washington Quarter. Don Racey found a silver Roosevelt dime and Karen Pelletier found a very interesting sterling turtle ring. Mike Maxon had the coin of the day, an 1890 Seated Liberty dime, his first.

Bill Parks donated a a very nice 2004 silver bullion dollar to the person who came closest to $1.71 in change and Karen Pelletier won it with $1.73. Dick Gaboury donated 5 Barber dimes for the 5 people with the least points. The membership attendance silver dollar drawing went to Don Racey.
