A letter from our President, Diana Clayton
Dear Shasta Miners and Prospectors: June was a crazy month. We are however
back on schedule.
The Shasta County fair was successful, ex-
cept for a couple of nights when it rained.
Mike and Cindy Russell, Red Passman,
Larry and Phyllis , Cassie and Joe , Bill
Ron, Lori, Robert Baxter, and especially Mary Ann and Jim
Stevens did a great job covering all the hours. Thank you for
all the work put forth to make SMPA a good memory and edu-
cational event for people.
I am looking forward to the July 29 and 30 outing at the
Douglas City Camp Ground. It has showers and nice facilities
and is very clean. There is an area for tent camping as well.
The cost is $10 per vehicle, $5 for Seniors. I believe the gold-
en age card might even give folks additional discounts. As
you turn on to Steiner Flat Rd., the park is the first R.V. park
to the left. Many of us are planning to go as early as Wed. and
stay through Sunday. Last year Kenny did a surprising feat,
he caught a nice salmon. Some gold was found and the hunts
were fun. Check out the enclosed flyer for more details. We
hope the event will even be more fun this year. If any ques-
tions give us a call. In the meantime I will see you at the July
21 meeting. I am looking forward to the metal detecting work
shop.
Still no word on the legisla-
tion issues.

We have nice hoodies, t-Shirts, tank tops, hats, and iron-on emblems. These items are on display and are for purchase at each general meeting.
The Hidden Coin is Still Out There
LOOK IN ANDERSON CITY PARK AT THE COTTON-
WOOD GROVE
LOOK FOR COVERED TABLES AND IS A SMALL AREA
TO SEARCH.
ANOTHER PRIZE HAS BEEN ADDED.
June Metal Detecting Outing Only three persons participated in the outing held at North Cottonwood School and West Valley High School. Those
in attendance were Dennis Paloma, Val Smalley, and me. We found some coinage at North Cottonwood School and
Val found a small ring. We then went to West Valley High School and recoverd some coinage there.
The detecting trip to Idaho was great! Those that took the trip and joined in the hunt were, Mike Abernathy, Susan
Doyle and me. Donna Davis and Millie Hosier also were at the event, but did not participate in the hunt.
Susan and I found a total of 613 coins; $94.70, in silver coins; and $64.64, in clads for a $159.34 total. These finds
were located in 2 hours, 15 minutes. Mike also did great and came home with silver and clad coins.
The weather held out until the hunts were ending and then the rains came and we got wet; however, with the great
finds the wet clothes were worth the treasures we found.
This outing, held at Farragut State Park near Athol, Idaho, was the 45th such hunt held by the Northwest Treasure
Hunter’s Club, of Spokane, Washington. Congratulations to all the officers and members of the club for the success-
ful planning and operation of the event. We were welcomed by the club members and made new friends and contacts.
Until the next meeting, stay well.
