Charles Garrett memorial hunt 2020

YES! Can't hardly wait. Driving in from Buckner, Missouri.

Went the last two years and it was fantastic! The most organized I have ever attended. This years is in Canton, Texas. The last two were near Jefferson, Texas.

See you there!

Well we’ll be joining you here in Arkansas down there in Texas.
 

I’m sure hoping more folks show up to the hunt from TNET. Gotta meet some members there.
 

yes sir,,good lord willing i will be there. went 2 years ago. great time. will be traveling from NW Ohio..
 

I do too. They didnt allow very many signups
 

That’s one reason we’re not able to go, plus broken_detector destroyed his leg. So no going for us, between his massive leg injury, I wouldn’t even wish to have, and I’ve had knee replacement, and a spinal fusion, and have two more back surgeries April 22nd. He’s out for the count for a while.
 

Yep its miserable, surgery this friday wish me luck.
 

im thinkin 2 years ago 400 signed up. if memory serves me. great chance to meet and greet like minded folks. always able to learn a bit about detecting, and share a little of what works for me.
 

I wish I was going. Sounds like a great time.

I wish they would have left the open invitations a little longer. It don’t really matter anyways at this point as broken_detector wouldn’t be able to go anyways, and neither would I. I’ve got back surgery, and he’s got leg surgery.
 

I look forward to it every year. We use it as a family vacation, and this year is no exception. Just an FYI for those going, Garrett did just post the following yesterday on their site. So please keep monitoring social media for any updates.

I would think as a whole they would just suspend it for a later date. Too many confirmed cases as of now, plus joining a large group of individuals from multiple states is what would worry me. Regardless of being outside or not I’d rather not take my chances. They should heed warnings as did schools, colleges, and even sporting events, and just set it for a later date. Again the film from multiple states is what would be the number one concerning situation, and the fact most folks don’t realize they even have it till many many days later
 

Or just setup a tent and test everyone off site
 

Well its official folks. After the Presidents speech, Garrett posted the following on the Web Site:

Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, Garrett Metal Detectors has come to the difficult decision to postpone the Charles Garrett Memorial Hunt IV scheduled March 27 – 29, 2020 in favor of safety for all. We are disappointed that we will not be together in Canton and hope everyone understands. We will be back to you once we have decided what our next steps will be in regards to the dates for the rescheduled event

Well good, they should have canceled it. I’m proud of them stepping up, and as a whole taking responsibility, and not putting folks just out enjoying a hobby at risk. I hope they open up more spots, or some folks decide not to go, because I’d like to attend it if I’m recouped from my double spinal surgery, and broken_detector is somewhat mended on his Achilles tear, and surgery today.
