For over eleven years, ITTHC has chosen to assist
the Broken Arrow Neighbors Association (BAN)
as the focus of our club’s community service.
BAN is a nonprofit organization and is celebrating
its 31st year of serving our local community. In past years ITTHC members have helped fill
Christmas stockings which BAN then distributed
to children and seniors in our local areas. In
addition, throughout the year, we have collected
items from BAN’s “Needs List” to help stock their
pantries and supplies.
BAN has moved into their new facility which is
located on the back lot of their old location. They
will have plenty of space to accommodate most
anything club members would like to donate.
There is always a high demand for items such as
canned goods, boxed food items, and toiletries.
We will be happy to deliver items club members
bring to any of our meetings and/or outings. Since
the list of needed items is pretty constant, we will forgo the usual monthly list in the club newsletter.
In case you would like to see what’s on their list,
you can visit The Broken Arrow Neighbors
website: http://www.baneighbors.org/ and look
for the category “Current Needs List”.
Through recent discussions with the ITTHC board,
we will continue to support BAN with the
following two main projects: “Back-to-School”
and “Christmas”. Many thanks to all those club
members who have already helped this year with
donating back-to-school supplies.
The second main project is our “Christmas
Collection” and since the holiday season will be
arriving soon it’s time to start thinking of how we
can help others who are less fortunate in our
community.
This year again, in lieu of Christmas stockings, we
are asking club members to donate canned goods
and/ or make money contributions to this effort.
Any money collected will be matched by ITTHC
and will be given to BAN to help with their
Christmas basket distribution. We will have a
collection can for this purpose at the Oct, Nov, &
Dec meetings.
Thank you for helping this very worthy cause!
Jean Dick and Marge Wierzchowski

In the past few weeks we have been having difficulties in finding places for
a club hunt. Either because we cannot make contact with the landowners, or
because of people not showing respect for the property & landowner by just
entering the property without permission to detect, or by leaving gates open &
breaking down fence and multiple other reasons.
If any of the members know of any property that would make a good place for
a club hunt and they want to try to get permission from the landowner for this
property then feel free to ask the landowner for permission. However, before
doing this, the property needs to be around forty acres for twenty to forty
members to hunt on.
Also, you will need to actually go to the site and visually check it out to see if
one could actually hunt on it. That is, is the grass short enough, is it inundated
with cattle, does it have parking nearby for several cars, and any other
obstacles that you feel will hinder hunting.
If you do talk to the landowner introduce yourself and be courteous and tell
him that you belong to a metal detecting group and that you are looking for a
place to hunt for relics etc. for around twenty to forty people. Be sure to
mention that we do cover up the holes that we dig and we will treat his
property with respect. We will leave the property as we found it.
Even if you just have a family member or friend close to an area of interest,
they may know the landowner. And that could make for a good local
introduction to the landowner if they are on friendly terms.
If you know of a site that you think has some historical significance (civil war,
oil field boomtown, ghost town, etc.) and need help obtaining the property
owners name and location or need help with research on a site to determine its
history, let an officer or board member know about the site.
For research purposes a geographical location is needed. It can be quarter
section-section-township-range (i.e. -NW ¼ Section 20 T29N R10W), latitude-
longitude, EMS address (these are geo referenced), or just mark the location
on a map (topographic map or road map).
Contact Cody Reese via email: creesejr@hotmail.com or call (918) 504-8490.
