This would be a good time to post what you thought of the meeting.
I had a great time, just putting a face and personality to the avatar/handle was worth the trip. I didn't arrive until just before 10 am and those that had camped were probably all talked out after sitting around the campfire the night before. I met some great treasure hunters, and held in my hand a coin from the Pigeon Water Cave hoard! There were two of the group who had another unique coin; it was a tencent piece with KY on it. I am so curious I will be trying to find out just when and where they were made. It was great hearing what everyone had found and the theories of where 'ol Swift really mined! A few of us then went to Coonhunter’s new place up Little Caney and wow! What a really cool place! You have to see a place like that to appreciate the wonders of living in a natural environment like our fore fathers! It was so quiet that you only heard the babbling of the creek and the birds! We hunted for and found a cave that was rumored to be close to his property. I propose we call it the Wesley-Swiz Cave! We also used the device I had brought with me and found …well you’ll have to ask Coonhunter about that. I made it back home to the ‘nati around 10 that night, tired, but still excited over meeting a bunch of great treasure hunters! I am wondering if we could do it every six months in a different place, maybe alternating more towards north and south. I would propose we gather and give each person ½ hour to tell their story and show items of interest then after everyone had a turn we could have the group discussions. I found myself bouncing back and forth trying to hear what everyone was saying, but trying not to be rude in leaving another conversation! You guys just had too much stuff that is important we look at! Next time I will be trying to camp so as to hear the stories at night around the campfire…really would have like to hear what Steely said! Also want to thank everyone for making it happen and being there! Next time I will be staying two days!
