Default A 'Challenge" Hunt Today!

I called a fellow TQ'er this morning to see if he'd like to do a little surface hunting (Jerry a.k.a. TKLSafe)...he enthusiastically said "YES"! and told me that he'd secured permission to hunt some local soccer fields...the only stipulation was that he agree to turn-in any diamond rings found during the hunt, as several have been reported as lost in the field areas - anything else we find - we're welcome to keep.

Jerry and I both think this is an equitable trade-off - as returning valuable items spreads our TQ goodwill - and who knows... maybe a little reward to boot?

The lovely Ms Peg will be accompanying us - and has even prepared a delicious picnic lunch!!

I'm excited about the opportunity...so wish us luck!

Rip: I'm DEFINITELY taking my camera today...so if we stumble onto some real treasure, I'll have pics to post later in the day...
