Wednesday July 1st, we held our monthly meeting, and 68 people were present this month. JerryK recapped the month’s metal detecting at Oceanside Beach north of the pier up to the San Luis Rey River channel on June 7th and the outing to our BB1 Claim near Big Bear Lake on the weekend of June 19-21. No new information on the closing 2,200 miles of OHV roads in the West Mojave, or the new proposed modifications to the US Forest Service CFR36 part 228. These would end up affecting all Associations by limiting the number of people on a claim before special permits are needed and secondary activities such as potlucks or raffles on US Forest claims. The Summer Annual Picnic date was discussed for member preferences, both day and food. It will be July the 11th Saturday at Crown Point Shores as Bonita Cove is currently a construction site. Driving instructions and the BB1 claim was presented as we now move to the mountains for the summer prospecting season with the deserts get too hot to be comfortable. The meeting ended with the monthly finds, raffle, table drawings, and the September Quarterly Raffle Prize was announced and will be an actual Spanish Piece of 8 and a nice picker nugget.
