Next Meeting: Monday, JUNE 14, 7PM
Our Club House: General meetings are held second Monday of every month at 7 PM.
The Meeting Hall is at Abby's on NE Stephens, North of Safeway in Roseburg.
The Prez' Message:
Howdy everyone,
June is upon us. Drag out all your hoses and check them for cracks, change the oil in your
pumps. Dredge season is just around the corner.
Our BBQ on the 26th is still on, but the place has changed. BLM told us we were not the
public,..hhhhhhmmmmm?
We will be having it at the Fairgrounds, at Umpqua Park, behind the horse barns down by the
river. Bring your metal detectors, as Hunt Master Kelly Norton has a awesome hunt planned for
us.
Meet around 10am for the Poker Walk, then lunch at 12pm.
BE SURE TO SIGN UP, we will have a sign up sheet for a head count, and a sign up sheet for the
Sno Crab at $9.00 per serving.
This is a Potluck event, bring a side dish and the club will provide all the dogs and fixings. Around
1:30pm or so we will begin the Treasure Hunt.
Our guest speaker this month will be Marv Rapose, he will be talking about ALASKA!
I got my letter from DEQ wanting my $25.00, after much contemplation, I have decided to send
them my money.
Till next time may all you find be nuggets.
Gary
May you always find NUGGETS !

MINI TRAMMEL
Note: Pictures in personal ads must be paid,
for printing costs
Hi. My name is Ken D. PattonI won the Mini Trammel. In the interest of DCPA, I will let anyone who wants to process their
ore concentrates through it for 10%, and we can weigh it at my house. My time, effort, and wear on it has to be considered
and it is only guaranteed for one year. This has to pay for the next one if there is one. Your ore can be ¼ of an inch or
smaller, you will,also, be responsible to help me clean it up after we are through. Call me and we'll arrange for a time when it
is convenient to both of us. When you are ready to come, call and I will give directions to my house. Sincerely Ken P. P.S.
We'll try this But if you cause me any problems it will end. 7/10
