I was looking for places to hunt (competitive & regular) and I ran across this... it sounds fun... What intrigues me about this hunt is its at night! check out the details in the link below...

If I wasn't all about detecting I'd think that was the craziest thing I had ever seen! To me there is something that's just strange about planting targets to find. (but it still beats soccer)

Its a fun thing... also it gives a chance for some detectorists to get coins they never had except you guys back east... you find all the good stuff LOL

I know all about it, done one before. Just seems to go a little against the basic idea of finding stuff if you plant it first.

PS... One time a local club was doing a hunt and a guy dug a cob "by mistake." I'd guess they were quite surprised as most probably hadn't found coins much older than 100 years old.

Over here, Rallies are normally after 'natural' finds, however some seed tokens which can win prizes

Given the kind of industry detecting has created, I'd have to say most of your 'organised detecting trips' are probably like this one! Hey, find them any way you can, I guess

Love to hunt where hunts have been held. Several clubs I belonged to in the past had annual hunts, including the hunt at Sweet Home, which I attended several years.

After the hunt is when it gets interesting. Go back the next day or next week, slow down, hunt systematically and slowly. I always found more after the hunt than I did during the hunt.

With speed hunts like this, it's not so much about your skill with a detector as how fast you can pinpoint and make a recovery.

This is true... but this is just another part of the hobby its fun try it!

also 1.39-1.41 did someone grab a rooster to make that sound or something?

That was most likely an overload signal in pin point mode on the eagle spectrum.

I called today and I think there are 10 spots left and the deadline is July 21st... I am only mentioning it because I don't want no one to miss out of a fun event... If you never tired this before its as addicting as the hobby itself and if you think its silly... well you gotta try it before you can say that. I'd like to see a full event... if you ave any questions about competition hunting I'd be glad to answer them... I have been doing it a long time.. and I have always had fun and at lease made my entry fee back in the coins and prizes I found... think of it as a mini vacation!
