[dig kzoo]

[Western Sky Ranch]

Yes it was a seeded hunt. But the first time I have ever found any of those coins so very exciting indeed!

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Very cool!

 

[treblehunter]

How much was that? I mean for a seeded hunt?
That must of been exciting!

Seeded hunt? Really? Those are real questions. I'm at a loss for words. Please explain.

Seeded hunts can be a lot of fun..........IF.............they don't cost an arm and a leg to participate. And the items you recover are, to you, worth what you paid to hunt. I've never been to one because I've been told there are a lot of "pros" who go to all the seeded hunts they can and are VERY GOOD at what they do. I would rather compete with trash and iron to find some goodies. Plus I'm frugal....LOL

Seeded hunts are a good way to easily learn the sounds of silver....

Never been on a seeded hunt in my 10 year career of detecting... I just figured if you can dig 34 silver dimes in one run then you should easily learn how it sounds...

Keep @ it and HH !!

To answer some of the questions. Yes Seeded hunts are often put on by detecting/prospecting clubs at least out here where I live. The silver hunt I found all you see in the photo cost me $40, to participate in. It was my first seeded hunt event. They limited the entries to only 35 participants to an area, I would approximate to be the size of a football field.

There were 2 other hunts prior to this. One was an Old Coin hunt and the other was a token hunt. The token hunt had specially marked tokens which in turn were associated with prizes to include a few AT Pro detectors and a White's Detector as grand prizes.

As for "professional hunters" who take all the glory at seeded hunts, hogwash, Bring'em on! I am confident in my detector and my own ability to interpret what it is telling me.
"I must master it as I must master my life. My detector, without me, is useless. Without my detector, I am useless. There are many like it, but this one is mine."

Nice, last weekend our club had a small spring warm up hunt. I was lucky enough to find one of the 14 coins.
In a couple of weeks they sponsor a bigger international hunt. A club from Canada comes over to hunt. I hear one prize is a gold coin.

Sounds like fun for forty bucks

 

[Carolina Tom]

34 Mercs for $40.00 sounds like fun and a good deal to me too.

This is a great thread. I especially like how the people get all whipped up about a "seeded hunt". Grandma would have said that if you didn't have something nice to say, then say nothing at all.

Good job Western Sky Ranch!
