Well I got back from my first ever treasure hunt yesterday - I got a some nice silver coins as prizes and had some good meals. Quarters were numbered and used as tokens to determine what you received for finding them. There were a total of 4 hunts - I found quarters in all of them but how some people could find some many was beyond me. The most I found was 6 on one hunt. T and I did some detecting in between hunts and dinners hitting an old hotel and a couple of parks along with hunting the property. I only found a wheat penny as did T and more clad. But I had a good time and it was something different. If we go again we will have to do some research of the area as other hunters went out and were finding large cents in the woods somewhere. There are also some old towns before the hotel which I would like to go door knocking and see if I could get permission to hunt some properties. Overall a nice father day weekend.
