Yes they have one, I'm guessing the size as I don't have it written down but estimate 15'x35'..

Many are expected to attend this free family-friendly event which is set to have appearances from TV stars from shows like the Diggers, Curse of Oak Island, Legend of Superstition Mountains and how to Do florida as well as top executives from leading metal detector manufacturers.

There will be food & drinks, kids treasure hunting activities, meet & greet with the various representatives and TV stars as well as over $30,000.00 in raffle prizes given away throughout the day.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2015

The return of National Geographic Channel’s "Diggers" has been highly anticipated. Their last season which completed in June 2014 left fans eagerly awaiting the premiere of Season 4 which aired Monday night, July 20th. The stars of the show, Tim “Ringy” Saylor and “King” George Wyant, express their passion for history and metal detecting in a most entertaining way that has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of fans in households nationwide. Many have accredited their start into the hobby of metal detecting because of their interest in the show.

This likeable duo has been quite busy, even recently completing a European Tour with Garrett Metal Detectors, a leader in metal detecting technology and one of the most well-known manufacturers in the industry. Now back in the U.S., Tim and George are scheduled to accompany Garrett to the Grand Re-Opening of Kellyco Metal Detectors on August 1, 2015 in Winter Springs, Florida. Celebrating their 60th anniversary, newly remodeled showroom and museum, as well as commemorating the 300th anniversary of the lost 1715 Spanish Fleet, this family-friendly event hosted by Kellyco is expected to bring treasure hunters and metal detecting enthusiasts from around the country.

There is a long list of attendees scheduled to turn out for this celebration, some of which include top executives from each of the leading metal detector manufacturers; First Texas, Garrett, Minelab, and Whites Electronics. This will be the first time ever that all brands will be coming together at a retailer’s location for meet and greets, product demonstrations and Q & A.

The "Diggers" won’t be the only TV celebrities joining in the fun though. Appearances are also expected from Jason Nowell, Dave Spencer and Gary Drayton all of whom have had a presence on History Channel’s "The Curse of Oak Island", as well as Eric Magnuson from "Legend of Superstition Mountains", a newer series which also airs on History. Likewise, Chad Crawford, a Florida native and host of the popular TV series "how to Do florida", who also recently aired a show about the 1715 Spanish Fleet and treasure hunting with metal detectors, will be in attendance.

In addition to brand representatives and TV personalities, there will be tables lining both the inside and outside of Kellyco’s warehouse and showroom with numerous displays. From local metal detecting clubs, gold panning demonstrations, and various treasures, including some found by the Schmitt family; famous professional salvagers and treasure hunters whom have discovered an abundance of items from the 1715 Spanish Fleet wreckage.

This event held on August 1, 2015 from 10am - 3pm will be open to the public, and kids of all ages are encouraged to come. There will be food and drinks, kids treasure hunting activities, meet & greet with various representatives and TV stars as well as over $30,000.00 in raffle prizes given away throughout the day. This includes random drawings for prizes from Kellyco’s recent Dig & Donate campaign in which they collected over 400,000 pop tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida, Inc. A representative from the local Ronald McDonald House will also be present at the event for a formal hand-off of the donation from Kellyco.

Been camping in the bushes for 3 days :P

I have metal detected all of the KellyCo lawns...
Found cache of gold and silver coins...
Ancient relics... and historical evidence that the Kellyco building was built on top of the lost city of gold.

It was packed. We drove a couple of hours to get there, arriving 10:45.

The Digger Dudes were apparently the main attraction as they had a line circling the interior of the building going back out the front door and into the parking lot.

There was a guy at the front door who wouldn't let you into the showroom unless someone exited. Three out, three in. At capacity.

We were unable to get inside and talk to the representatives and test out the machine I'm wanting to try out. My buddy couldn't get in to check out the diggers, he was wanting to buy a Lesch and a shovel.

I did manage to sneak in past the door guard and slip past the Digger Dudes line. I tried to talk to the Minelab guy but that didn't work out, couldn't hear each other very well. I ran into a couple of people I know, so that was nice.

Left at 11. 4.5 hour round trip, oh well, such is life.

I was kind of expecting availability of all the vendors and machines, but it just wasn't set up for that. If you tried to butt in line to talk to a vendor some of the folks standing in the hour plus line got a little testy.

Perhaps another try in the future, when there is not a crowd there.

It was a very well attended event. The Digger Dudes were certainly the major draw.

GIB, why did you leave so quickly, about 12:30 crowds thinned out to point you could enter or leave easily and by 1:30 you could talk to vendors with no issues at all..


Availability of vendors was based on the crowd, response was tremendous....

I was with a guy with a bad limp and a cane. He can't stand for long periods and all we saw were lot's of people and long lines.

We figured we would trek back another day.
