To anyone who wants to learn more about detecting and our club you can check out the Missouri clubs section here on Tnet, the Yahoo site and our own 417 Relic Hunters Club forum Treasure Spot. For the latest posts on dug CW relics here in SW Mo. check the T-spot site. We are conducting free detecting classes starting in March at our upcoming meeting. These courses are for the beginner and a more advanced course will be held in Oct. The beginners class will run each month up until the Oct. meeting. Did I mention it was free? This is our deal, training and we are very serious about it. Our club is now 2 years old and we had 34 at our last meeting. The regular meetings will also be held in another room and nothing changes with that. If you are having any problems or want to learn a few detecting tricks and tips you will not want to miss any of this.
