The 2011 Valley Prospectors Rendezvous is nearly uponus. October 21-22-23 is nearly here. If you have any questions my first post givesthe Valley website and Lorraines phone number and email. I plan on being there on Saturday morning before the hunt starts... Unfortunately Ihave osteoarthrites in my right knee and hip... bone to bone, and will be in the huntbut most likely with a walker... Just to be out there enjoying comradship and meetingold friends and new ones, checking tailgate sales, and venor wares, is also as good as finding tokens and coins... jim straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch john Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Howdy all... Just a last post about the Rendezvous... First I thank all of youwho have read this thread. Due to the economy putting on a seeded hunt can be iffy. HoweverLorraine has been able to obtain a pretty good amount of "goodies" to add to the planted coinsas "tokens" to be redeamed after the hunt. And the Grand Prize as mentioned earlier will bewon by a ticket drawing and the tickets are limited to only those who enter the hunt. The hunt fee is the same for all. $20 cash and you have time enter in the morning before the hunt. I plan to be at the site by 8 am... which gives me plenty of time to enter the hunt... And would like to meet all of you who will be there.... Good Times, Fellowship... Renewing oldfriendships, meeting new friends and learning more fron others. For anyone who either enters or is just a spectator... you will certainly enjoy thr festivities. Andfor those brave enough at dark, there will be the "Nightstalker" hunt... js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 hi Dutch John,It sounds like it's going to be a great time.I hope lots of folks come out and I hope the Rendezvous is a great success.All the best,Flak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Howdy Flak... to answer your post, the hunt went fine, and there were targets, both coins and tokens being retrieved to the end. Lorraine expected a few more members which meant more tokens for those in the hunt. The cois were great. Not only the usual clad, but also buffalo nickels, indian head and wheat pennies. Best yet, for me, there were 20 small (10mm) gold coinss planted in the field and my first find was one of them. Unfortunately my right knee was acting up, so I left the field early... but I understand the gold coin weighs eight grains, so with the current value of gold I got my $20 enty fee back... The weather was nice, no morning wind. The breakfast was pancakes and bacon, and the coffee really hit the spot. Best, was the fellowship and meeting others that I have not seen for sometime and meetingnew friends.... I look forward to the next year Rendezvous and hope I'm still be able to join in... Everyone... thanks for reading this thread and those of you who were at the Rendezvous, thanks for your support... js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
