South
Carolina Treasure and Artifact Association
- September Minutes October 3, 2013
The
SCTAA met on September 23, 2013 with 40 in attendance including visitors: Sam Heller and Curt Hollifield; and new 2013
member Bob Burns and new 2014 member Doug Gillett.
The
meeting consisted of several reports:
Robert Weaver reported that the Low Country Hunt was "just
okay". Greg Parma reported on his
experiences metal detecting in England along with the differences in
clubs. There, membership is limited and
there is a waiting list. Farmers are
paid by the participants who then hunt their lands. Bill Guthke shared research he's done on
(hard to reach) sites that might produce artifacts. Randy gave tips on competition hunting for
our coming hunt and advised that the proposed, then cancelled, hunt to assist
the Park Rangers at Ninety-six Battlefield was cancelled due to budget
shortages and may occur in the future.
Officer
nominations will take place in October and be voted on in November.
