Member Stories
These stories were written by and about our members. They tell of their metal detecting adventures, accomplishments and good deeds. Some of these have been previously published in our monthly newsletter, THE GRUBSTAKE.

Dave McCracken is not a member, but many of us know him. He has come down from up north and really enlightened us on gold prospecting. He puts out a very enteresting online newsletter. Please visit, read about prospecting and see his videos.
Silver Coin Incentive Program
We all love to metal detect in the hopes of finding silver and gold. Every meeting we even display our finds of the month and try to win silver quarters, halves and even a silver round. Now you have a chance to get even more silver and you don't even need to turn on that MD machine of yours. Just e-mail me, Dan Thompson, your metal detecting story, picture, joke or cartoon and you could get more silver.
Every month I will have silver dimes, silver quarters and silver halves to award at the next month's club meeting. Your participation will add more content to our site and also draw more visitors.
Here is how I will award the silver coins and is subject to change.
- Jokes - 1 Silver Dime
- Cartoons -1 Silver Quarter (must be scanned in jpg format)
- Photos -1 Silver Quarter (total, not per pic - must be scanned in jpg format)
- Short Story - 1 Silver Quarter (half page, about 250 words or less)
- Short Story with Photos - 2 Silver Quarters
- Long story - 1 Silver Half (full page, about 500 words or more)
All content must be appropiate for a family website and must be your original material. Jokes and cartoons will be added in the HUMOR section. It may either be emailed or given to me on a disk at each meeting. If needed it may be edited for clarity and content. This is for active Westcoast members only. I will only have so many coins to award each month. When they are gone I will need to wait till the next month to add more of your submissions.
