Hello Coinshooters. Just ran across this. Brought back alot of fond memories of my early days in this hobby. Was a member of the club in the late 1970's while stationed at 32nd street Navy base. Learned alot from many people. Of course many have passed on as I was a young guy at the time and most were older. Howard Childress was my mentor. One hell of a hunter and a great friend. He died of cancer in the early 90's and I lost touch with his wife Lee. They took me in like I was part of their family. Kevin Reilly was around my age and the 3 of us were a trio. Kevin moved to Florida and opened a detector and scoop business. I went home to western New York state. Kevin passed away also of cancer in 2009. His business lives on. I also remember Russ Gish, and Ken and Jean Nikodym.
