IDK if they're like the '80s, but there are hunts.
The local club I belong to has monthly hunts (seasonally) and a yearly picnic that includes a hunt (members only).

Our club still does here in San Diego.

The treasure and metal detecting magazines used to post all kinds of treasure/ metal detector coin and treasure hunting competitions all over the United States , particularly in the mid to late 1980's. Treasure magazine, Lost Treasure magazine and a couple of others used to promote those events and all the major metal detector companies used to donate detectors and other items to be given away as prizes ! I was looking forward to getting back in on the competitions but I can't find any that are local or even near my location !
