Treasure Hunters Cookout/ Fund Raiser

Treasure Hunter's Cookout/ Fund Raiser

I'm having a cookout like the one I throw every Spring for the Treasure Hunters. However, this is special, for one of our friends has contracted Colon Cancer and needs our help. His name is Tom Gidus (AKA Mad4wrecks) on the treasure hunting forums. Tom is a long time diver/treasure hunter on the Treasure coast and is well known among our community. So, to help out, unlike the free ones I've thrown in the past, this one will include an Auction and Raffle, along with donations and a small cover to raise money to aid in curing Tom's cancer. I'd like to see you there with any and all that you can bring or pass this note onto...
We'll have BBQ ribs, Fried Chicken, Beeerrr, and bunches of other stuff. Maybe SCUBA lessons, and a Treasure Hunt.
There will be cobs, shipwreck treasures, and a whole lot more available as raffle items and auctions.


I'm having the cookout on Saturday, November 3rd, at :
The Pennwood Motor Lodge
9295 N. U.S. Highway 1
Sebastion, FL (actually Wabasso)
the manager's name there is Virginia and her phone # is 772-589-3855


All details can be found on the treasurenet forum here:

Please let me know if you plan on attending.
You can respond online or call me directly:
386-801-9242


Thanks,
Aquanut John

I'm getting a great response for the cookout! I've been in contact with metal detecting and treasure hunting clubs, other forums, Kellyco, Whites, Garrett, Fishers, Minelab, Teknetics, plus an overwhelming response of donations to be either auctioned or raffled. We'll also have live entertainment and a DJ. I think I'll have to add some Pig Butts to the menu. Got some cobs and other treasure items being donated also.

On another note, it has been rough over there, and will be very rough with North winds for at least a week and a half. Cold fronts and a perfectly positioned (so far) tropical storm mixed in. So there could be some erosion on the Treasure Coast, so plan to set aside a day to detect some of your favorite beaches when you are there for the fundraiser.

Hang in there Tom. I am looking forward to meeting you. Ray with Kellyco called me today and said they will be donating 4 metal detectors to do with as we feel best.

I'm going to get together with Ray tomorrow to pick up what he has ready. I've also been in touch with the rep from Whites and he'll be setting up a booth at the cookout. We'll be getting packages in the mail from reps also. The response from treasure hunting and metal detecting clubs has been unreal. This is gonna be BIG!
I wouldn't be surprised if we top a thousand people! It has grown beyond belief!
Thank goodness for the people that have privately contacted me and offered their help!
There's a lot more, Including but not nearly limited to: a high grade 8 Reale either from the Atocha or the 1715 fleet from Taffi Fisher, a couple coins originally from Mo Molinar, including some others, artifacts, some ancient shipwreck treasures (Tang Dynasty Rice Bowls) and two possible pre-Columbian Tumbaga figures from the Tairona Indians in Colombia. There are signed books from Dan Sedwick, and many others I'll detail later in my posts, I just don't have the time at the moment. I need to get details and take pictures of stuff I already have and get it on the shipwreck thread of treasurent.

What stage of colon cancer does he have?

 

[aquanut]

Rick 60, Tom has stage 3.

Also, while Trembull was picking up the 1715 fleet 8 reale and Cert from Taffi Fisher for us, I was at Kellyco picking up donations they were gracious enough to offer. Bigdogdad had contacted Ray Walker over there and Kellyco really came through!I picked up 250 backpack combos from Kellyco, that will go with the first 250 meal tickets as people want them. Ray Walker also had 3 MPX metal detectors ready, so I picked them up also. He said he'd call me for me a pickup when the Ace250 comes in. Great Guy! He said he's going to try and be at the cookout too.


More info to come...
