<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1947237, member: 16948&quot;]Friday was also the day that the people from either the first or second session could take the Diggers class with the cast of the Diggers show, Tim &quot;The Ringmaster&quot; Saylor (also a coin collector) and George &quot;King George&quot; Wyant.&nbsp; Bruce participated and said they had a really good time.&nbsp; They took a bus to the metal detecting field on a private piece of property up in the hills.&nbsp; Then the Diggers guys taught them the basics of metal-detecting and shared tips on how to find metal items in the ground such as coins, rings, etc.&nbsp; To make it more interesting, the ANA staff had “salted” the area with real coins, some of which were modern and some old.&nbsp; The Diggers guys, Tim and George, who are also friends with ANA Governor Mike Ellis, were kind enough to stop by Lunar Lounge for a short visit.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5779_zps6656c7a9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce, George, me, Tim, and Mike</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5780_zps7130b7ae.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We had so much fun and ended up staying out until almost midnight!&nbsp;

But mealtime in the cafeterias was always an enjoyable event – due to the really good food of course, but even more so due to the great company and conversations with everyone during our mealtimes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My usual breakfast posse included many familiar friends, including these guys (from left to right):&nbsp; Rick Snow, Bruce Benoit, David Lange, can’t recall the name of the guy next to David, Sonny, Hobo Nickel carver Joe Paonnesa, and me!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5784_zps7f19062e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After breakfast, a group of us headed over to the Colorado Springs Coin Show. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5793_zps105ceeb1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5796_zps7b0a167a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5795_zpsd706b2cd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the corner of the room near the snack bar I saw this tv with actual antennas so I just had to take a photo!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5798_zps94f4e660.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of antennas, Rick is giving antennas to his twin brother from another mother, Brian Fanton!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_5799_zps3ebee75e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon we headed back to the college so we could officially register and get our program material and photo badges.&nbsp;
