The club is planning a Prospecting outing on March 10th thru the 12th at our Barstow area claims hosted by our very own Lucky Joe. . Joe Chmiel will be hosting Friday, Saturday, Sunday,,,, March, 10th, 11th 12th. There is room for a camper or trailer on the shamrock claim, but the club will not have a porta poty this time. No potluck on Saturday but some members will be car pooling into Barstow on Saturday at a local restaurant. You can download the club claims in the area in our claims section. Also there is lots of open ground in the area to nugget shoot. I think it still may be a little wet to drywash, everything depends on the weather that weekend as well.

Our very own "Lucky Joe" will be hosting a prospecting get together at our Barstow Area claims on the weekend of December 10th weather permitting. This is a dry camping area (no water / no restrooms) The roads  are dirt with some dips and brush along the sides, A 2 wheel vehicle can get there and there is parking for a few  RV's on the Shamrock claim. Come on out and enjoy some fresh air and play in dirt. I'll post more info as I get it.

Marvin Blair sent along this E-mail,

A long-time friend of our club, Bill Meers, recently passed away and thought that this information might be appreciated by many of our club members for the November edition of Treasure News.  Information is as follows: 

    Our fellow club member and friend, William (Bill) Meers, passed away on Tuesday, October 25th after a long and hard fought battle with cancer.  He is survived by his two older brothers, Donald and Robert.  Bill was a passionate metal detectorist and true friend to all.  His kindness and gentle spirit will be missed.

"There will be a brief graveside service at Rose Hills Memorial Park in the Morning Side Garden area, Section 4 on Wednesday, November 16th at 1pm.  Rose Hills Memorial Park is located at 3888 Workman Mill Road, Whittier 90601."

Thanks.

Alberto Mafud has been doing a fantastic Job running the Coin Hunts  all year long and deserves a big thank you for his efforts.

We Have 3 open Officer positions  we need to Fill this year along with some board positions. If you would like to help out please contact one of our Board Members at the next Meeting.

It was a sad day for California Prospectors today.  On August 22, 2016 the California Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that federal law does not preempt the California moratorium on suction dredging, thus reversing the prior favorable Appellate Court Decision and upholding the Superior Court Judgment against Brandon Rinehart.  It is unknown at this time whether a Writ of Certiorari will be sought in the U.S. Supreme Court by Mr. Rinehart. Today's ruling will have a binding effect upon the San Bernardino Superior Court in the consolidated dredge litigation pending there as to the issue of federal preemption.

PCSC will be holding a joint outing on Sept. 23,24 &25 with our sister club, High Desert Gold Diggers at their Gold Digger claim in the Big Bear area.

You can go to www.fs.usda.gov to get all information about the campsites at Holcomb Valley camground.

On Sat night HDGD will provide burgers/dogs and PCSC will provide side dishes for the potluck.

We are also looking for some entertainment to make memories around the campfire. Don't be shy,let's have a great time.

We will need a head count so we can provide enough food.
It has been too long since we have had a joint outing, let's get to know who we share claims with and have a great time, address concerns with both clubs and look forward to future endeavors!
