Default Joined my first club

Not usually a group guy but I am new here, don't know anybody and the wife said go check out the local club.
They had a meeting on Sunday and I had a good time.
Seemed like a great group of people, some good at this, some not so good, but all having a real good time.

Inside meetings in the winter, outside meetings in the spring and summer where the grill hot dogs, have the meeting and then hunt for about 2 hours.

They have contests at every meeting in several categories, best coin, oldest coin, highest coin count best jewelry, best display, and more.
We all vote on all these during the midway break and the coins they give out for prizes are cool.

Just so happens I brought my gold class ring with me to the meeting and entered it against 3 other nice looking rings...but they were silver.

Smoked em...I won!

My prize...

I think I am going to like this group.

That is a GREAT club. I was a member last year but too far to drive and my club has their meetings on the same day. They have a great website also.
