Annual Club Hunt and Picnic

 We are planning to make this year’s hunt at Berne Town Park Awesome! We will have thousands of dollars of coins in the ground including numbered tokens for prizes. One of these prizes will be a Treasure Chest of coins and more! The hunt will be limited to the first 80 people that sign up/pay. Lunch will be provided. The Park is located on Rt. 443 in Berne, NY.

 

Hunt Fees for 2024:

• Due to higher costs of silver, this year’s costs are $100 per members in good standing, $150 for Non-members.

• All Hunt fees must be received by  August 19, 2024.

• Early Bird payments by August 8, 2024 will be eligible for a raffle at the hunt for a Morgan Silver Dollar.

• Note that membership dues are also due by the end of June.

• (Form is under “Membership” heading  on this website).

• "Members in good standing" are those that are current in their annual dues prior to the hunt.​
