Tis the Season to Wear
Orange
Deer hunting season is here. For those of you that metal
detect in or near wooded areas, you are reminded to wear bright orange hats,
shirts, jackets and or vests. Never wear camouflage clothing when detecting in
the woods this time of year. Every year a deer hunter accidentally shoots
someone, so be careful out there. Don't become a news story.

A Little
Help From Our Friends
I am having problems trying to
find maps for the John Swift treasure story about Kentucky. Where
can I get something on this, I have tried local library. Ed erowland@inet99.net
Hi, I was wondering if you knew of any
ghost towns in St. Lawrence County, New York. Do you know of any stage coach stops in that
area?
I have been unable to identify this button I dug outside of
Nashville, Tennessee. Could you possibly I.D. it or do you know of who I can
contact to? I've been told it's possibly late 18th or early 19th
century...possibly British. Any information you could give me would be greatly
appreciated.

Could you use some expertise to answer a treasure hunting
related question? In each newsletter we feature a reader who is stumped and
needs a little help from his or her treasure hunting friends. Send your
questions to:

While my wife and I were
rummaging through some of her old relatives keepsakes, we came across a U.S.
Government Warranty Slip made out to a T. Hooker in 18664 or the amount of
$5.00. Have never heard of a warrant like this. Has a standing picture of George
Washington on the left side. Maybe it was for payment from the government.
Anybody know, and if you do, how about value? Thanks, J. Martin jaycoac@aol.com
Site Address
Change--Treasure Hunt Quest
"Quest - a zetetic Treasure Hunt" is a self-contained Treasure
Hunt in a book. The book is full of cryptic clues and drawings that when
solved reveal the whereabouts of a jewelled 18 carat gold prize worth
£30,000. The clues in the book are based around the history, heritage,
landscape, legend and literature of Britain.
I received the following email from a loyal reader after he had
been visiting a recommended site last month:
The old address will generate a 404
error page not found. I just thought that if any readers were to run into
the same error and ask you about it, you would have the new address. It is
a neat idea they have there, hope this sort of thing catches on with some
others! Got to run, hope you have a nice day.
Your friend, Roy A.

Thanksgiving
Thoughts
This
year our national day of Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 28, will undoubtedly be
unlike any other. It will be a day for reflection, remembrance and certainly
thanksgiving in its most basic sense. For despite disaster and destruction, we
Americans still have much to be thankful for.
We know
that this Thanksgiving meal will be a true gesture of comfort, friendship
and love--a holiday feast full of symbolism and hope for the future. It is
food to be shared with family, friends and many loved ones as you can fit around
the dining room table.
Thinking about a meal like this right now may be almost impossible
for some of you. But working in the kitchen with fresh ingredients, doing
familiar tasks and enjoying the aromas can have a healing effect and therapeutic
value.
Our
nation has been changed forever. But on November 28, we must motivate ourselves
to create once again a meal that can be a haven of comfort, joy, and
goodness--the feast that stood the test of time.
It is
perhaps overstating the case on my part that one meal can do all that. But we
must try.

Mancini, Editor, The Digger's Dispatch and Secretary, Washington County Metal Detecting Club
