.It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our most cherished members, Patrick Mathers.
Patrick was more than a life member—he was the heartbeat of our club. Whether volunteering at meeting raffles alongside his beloved wife Patty, preparing gold bags for the store and prizes, maintaining and testing claims, or stepping up to serve on the Board of Directors when the club needed him most—Patrick was always there. He was a man of action, generosity, and unwavering commitment.
His kindness, humor, and steady presence touched countless lives. Patrick’s legacy will live on in the stories we share around the campfire, the traditions he helped build, and the community he loved so deeply.
A celebration of life for Patrick will take place on September 27th. Contact the club office if you would like details.
Please keep Patty and the Mathers family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
You can now order $50 gold bags, Roadrunner silver rounds, and bulk order $10 gold bags in quantities of 10! You have the option of paying for shipping to have them delivered straight to your door, or will call and pick them up at the next club event, or at the office on Wednesdays.
To get to the store, log in with your member account, then go to Resources -> Online Store. Not a member yet? No problem, you can sign up HERE and get access to over 270 gold rich claims!
Bill is a huge asset to our club. His You-Tube videos have helped many to improve their Metal Detecting skills. Bill has been our guest speaker many times and is scheduled to do so again at our March Monthly Meeting in 2025. He has also led Tag-Along events on our claims. And, if that’s not enough, he has been a major source for new member referrals to our club.
Please join us in congratulating Bill for this well deserved award.
Our Miner of the Month is Wayne Kukral.
Wayne has been a member since 1982, and regularly volunteers for Claims Maintenance, Sampling events, and is always ready to lend a hand. After all these years of supporting the club, his recognition is long overdue.
Cogratulations Wayne!
