1.webpThis was seeded hunt at Virginia Beach by Tidewater Coin and Relic Club, so I loaded up the wife and grandbabies and we took off. vab4.webp This was what I found from the warm up hunt.5.webp
Includes 1 Silver Kennedy Half, 4 Silver Quarters, 1 Mercury Dime, 6 Silver Rossies, 8 V Nickels, 10 Buffalo Nickels, 8 Indian Head Pennies, 33 Wheat Pennies.vab3.webp I also found 6 tokens. One token was good for a Kellyco Hat, Pouch, Towel, & Digging Tool and a $5.00 bill. Token two was good for the same thing. Token Three was good for a .999 silver round and was The American Prospector. The Fourth token was for a 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar. The Fifth was good for a 1964 Uncirculated Set. Token Six was good for 1962 proof set. They give away lots of other goodies,4.webp that I didn't win, but had a great time and meet a lot of people that shared our intrest. The people in the club and the other MD'ers super nice and friendly.2.webp Then after the hunt me and the grandbabies went out to dig a hole as they call it, and we found a little clad and 3 rings and a earring. Grandbabies had never been to the beach, and they said," Papa, this is the worlds largest sand box". 3.webp

Yes we had a ball. The grandkids keep us hopping.
A Seeded hunt is a club/group gets together and buys a lot of silver, clad and gold sometimes even relics and plant them or so to speak just toss them in the sand like an Easter Egg hunt then the other MDers take out their detectors and go hunting, this is a timed hunt. Most of the more exspencive items are planted with tokens, then you turn in your tokens for such items. Different tokens are for different prizes from Gold to Medal Detectors, etc..
Thanks for looking and always remember no question is a dumb question! I just learned what one was a year ago. Happy Hunting.
 
Thanks Mike,
I thought that is what you was talking about but I wasn't forsure.
