Cowtown Treasure Hunters is one of the sponsors of the Kerrville, TX kids hunt. This is a metal detecting planted hunt for handicapped & disadvantaged kids. Foreign coins are buried just under the surface (or sometimes just in the grass) and the kids use metal detectors (with the assistance of helpers) to find them. Naturally the kids keep all the coins they find. Silver coins were used in early hunts but the kids put them into soda machines, so that made for some expensive sodas. If you have any foreign coins that you have found while CRHing and would like to donate them to a good cause, please PM me. Several folks here sent coins last year which helped out tremendously. If you are wondering what goes on in the hunt, below are a couple of links to the past couple of years hunts. I have posted this in the copper and nickel boards also, knowing some folks do not crh all denonimations.

TXBullion,
Got your coins, thanks very much. I will get them to Ed at our next meeting so he can take them down to Kerrville.
