Heres my Master plan
I live in Depoe Bay Oregon here on the coast.
Right now everyone is into pirates and beachcombing of course.
im ordering 1 dozen lower to mid greade detectors from bounty hunter and am going to be planting replica pirate
coins on the beach. and renting out metal detectors for 15.00 per hour, when they rent a detector they will also be given a treasure map of the erea and need to locate clues planted and work thier way to the main treasure i think this will be some older silver dollars or i may have some 999 fine silver 1 oz coins made up for the hunt
at the end of the hunt wich will be in groups obviously there will be only one winner to find the silver coin
i will make enough money of the rentals to more than cover the cost of an ounce a day and will put on 2 or 3 hunts a day. they will also be paying a 5.00 insurance on damage on equipment wich will be my self insurance policy covering repair or replacement of detectorsand should be enough for me to keep new detectors comming in
how ever the rental contract will clearly state that the insurance does not cover lost or stolen detectors
and if they should lose it or steal it they will be held responsible to pay for it wich shouldnt be to hard since ill have thier drivers licence info and billing info.
anyway should be a lot of fun and i know the tourists will line up to do it because its all about the hunt and they also get to keep any treasures they find along the way.
rentals will be from out of my van being done up like pirates also ill have my capt pirate suit on and the kids love it and i get to p[lay once a week and make some extra money to pay for my top of the line detector for myself
ill keep you posted. any ideahs would be appreciatedps the treasure at the end of the hunt will be a certificate returning them to me for their coin this will keep the average detectorist from finding it himself to keep and spoiling the fun. ill have several maps of different locations each day so i can put on several hunts.

There used to be something like that in North Central PA
only you brought your own Detector.

Then they gave you Clues to Caches if you wanted to Cache Hunt.

Or you could just Relic hunt for real Relics.

I don't know what the fee was, OR If it is still
going, been a few years since I saw an add.
I think 2003

I'm thinking it was "Williamsport" area

That is a great idea. Sounds like you might just make a lot more than just paying for the detectors. Lots of luck to you.
