MEETINGS & EVENTS & SHOWS

MEETING TIMES & LOCATION
Meetings are 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month from 7pm - 8:30pm​

Mercy Hill Church 287 Mt. Calvary Road, Marietta, Ga 30064

We meet in the metal sided building known as the "Wee School" in the front conference room.  It is a nice place.  We hope to see you there! 

2025 ANNUAL CLUB SHOW: 
The 2025 show is on August 9th and 10th, 2025.  Never too early to plan for and get involved for the club relic show. In addition to it being a lot of fun it is what supports the club.

DUES:
If you have not already done so, please pay your club dues ($20 per person, see Membership page for additional details) at the upcoming meeting. You need to have your dues paid for the year by March 31st to participate in upcoming club functions (such as the club hunts and the Christmas Party).   If you don't renew your dues by March 31st and pay your dues afterward you will be deemed a new member and thus have to be a member at least a month for certain club functions such as the club hunts.  If your dues have not been paid and you do not plan on rejoining the club this year, please let us know and we will take your name off the club's mailing list.   Members that are 75 or older do not have to pay dues if they've been a paying member at least one year.

​

On the first meeting of each month we try to have a speaker to give a talk on subjects of interest to our members. Many times these talks are given by the members of the club but we often try to bring in guests who have a specialty area to share.
The second meeting of each month is dedicated to the “Find of the Month”. This is an opportunity for each member to bring in items that the have personally found since the last Find of the Month. There are four categories which finds may be entered:

1. Relic

2. Coin/Jewelry

3. Single Relic

4. Single Coin

Members vote for their favorite in each category and prizes are awarded for the winners.

Club Hunts: The club will usually hold at least 1 coin hunt and 1 relic hunt each year. To participate in these hunts you must be a paid member prior to the day of the hunt, and have attended one club meeting prior to the hunt.  The club hunt rules are in our constitution and they essentially are:
• The participant must be a paid member one month before the hunt date and must attend at least one meeting prior to each club hunt.
• The fee for the hunt is $20. Children under 13 are free as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult family member that is participating in the hunt.
• When the hunt has ended, any token for prizes that are found out in the field or that have not been turned in will become null and void.
• No prizes will be given out until the hunt has ended.
• If the member cannot stay until the hunt ends, you will have to forfeit your prize tokens or find someone who can turn them in at the end of the hunt for the appropriate prize.

Shows: Each year in early August the club will hold the Southeastern Civil War Show.

Various: During the year there are many activities that do require the forming of committees to organize and plan. Some of these are Relic Hunt, Coin Hunt, Speaker of the Month, Show Advertising, Donations and many more. We ask that all members help by volunteering when the call goes out.
