Congratulations to our winners!

Good luck to all TVP Members and bring Home the Gold!


Members are encouraged to bring in their Finds of the Month to each club meeting no matter how big or small. They can be any metal items found with a Metal Detector and any Gold, Silver, or other precious metal found prospecting. The qualifying factor is that it has to be found and not purchased (i.e. bag of gold concentrate).
