The outing was great fun with 16 members
& guests showing up at a local Seattle green
space. The natural finds hunt began around 9:00 & ended sometime after 12:00
with clear skies. After the hunt everyone gathered together to review their finds.
Items to receive a prize were drawn from a container. For instance, if you found the
only key or the highest number of keys and that item was drawn, you would receive
a silver dime. Other mundane items such as pull tabs, bottle caps, tin foil, nails etc.
are in the container so everyone has a chance to win. Silver or gold items automatically get a prize. Mark Jenkins won a silver quarter for the best find; a beautiful
1920-S Standing Liberty Quarter. Thanks to all the members for attending.
