That is a bummer,,,they are giving away 24 detectors and $11,000.00 in cash prizes....one of the prizes is $5000.00 cash... people are from all over the country. About 125 people in the hunt. Three hunts tomarrow, and 2 hunts Sunday...

They plant an flaged in area with coins and tokens. Some of the tokens have numbers on them and they are for prizes. Some are for $$ some are for detectors. The hunt starts on the sound of a small cannon. Hunt the area till all is found. Takes about 15 min to clear a field. Have to hunt fast and scoop and go, scoop and go. Very intense. The coins and tokens are not in the sand deep, maybe 1 to 2 inches. Hope that helps.
