Hunter's Club helps scouts find treasure

From Quad-City Times: Hunter's Club helps scouts find treasure

The deck was stacked — so to speak — but that didn’t stop Girl Scout Troop 6521 from “discovering” treasures such as coins Saturday at Camp Oakwood, Buffalo, Iowa. Illinois and Iowa Treasure Hunter’s Club hid “treasures” and taught the girls the basics of finding them with metal detectors. The girls also got a chance to hear the history of metal detectors and a brief overview of how they work. Members of the Treasure Hunter’s Club told stories of their lucky finds, such as a multi-karat diamond ring with sapphires that was appraised at $9,000.
