Wednesday May 7th, we held our monthly meeting and 95 people were present this month. Jeanny Pierce presented a recap of the “No Way” nugget she found during the first weekend of the month on our Little Bit claim, I presented a follow-up on Miner’s Trumpet plants that was one of the indicators that Jeanny used. We also discussed the monthly outing to our Hall of Fame claim where 2 nice nuggets were found, a 1gm and 4.5gm, and everyone did really well this trip finding gold on the lower hill area. I also did the recap on the monthly metal detecting at Pacific Beach. Under new business, we still need a librarian, beach metal detecting will be at Ocean Beach, Our May outing will be to our Freedom claims, and we covered the PLP latest on the court case originating from last August when a Dept of Fish and Game warden issued a citation to a legal Reclamation Dredger, confiscated his gear, threatened and vandalized his vehicle. The court dismissed the case, and the Warden is under investigation. We concluded with the monthly finds of the month and raffles.
