Default Weekend Treasure Hunt

I went to a 2 day treasure hunt over the weekend and found:

2 silver dollars

1 silver half

4 silver quarters

97 silver dimes

a cache with a Morgan dollar and a 1 oz. silver bar

won a raffle for a Dos Pesos gold coin

2 tokens that got me a 2007 Proof quarter set and a nib White's Bullseye II Pinpointer (which I'll be selling to offset the Vibraprobe I'm buying).

I have another hunt coming up this Sunday that I've never been to before and that's it for seeded hunts for me this year.

Congrats on all the finds! Great job.



I would really like the chance to go to one of those style of hunts. One of these days I will, Beale.

Rikki: Thanks, I really hadn't thought of a price for it, there was one on eBay that just ended for $76 and another Buy it now for $85 with no bids but 22 hours to go. I was just going to put it on eBay and take what I get, retail on the box is $119.

Ali, Steve & Beale: Thanks, these hunts are alot of fun and luck, the only real skill is in your ability to pinpoint and speed of covering the field. I would say my number of finds was about average, others that I talked to had many more and some had less but all had fun!
