Cool finds!
How do you get an invite to those hunts?
Forum participation is the best way, just go to Treasurespot.com and register. It's similar to Tresurenet in that it has a lot of people posting and different types of forums. I post on the relic and bottle forum and the Digging forum. The Div committee will determine the hunt sites and far in advance the committee will select the people who go. The hunt has a fee of 225.00 this helps to pay the landowner and set up funds for the hunt. It is a 3 day event and water , donuts, coffee and a sack lunch with soda are free each day. They even bring water out to the diggers in 4-wheelers! On the last day of the hunt a BBQ is provided and it is always excellent. The hunters also display their finds at that time. They have raffles at the pre-hunt meeting the day before. They also have a bunch of donated items that are given away as well. I have been to 2 so far, last Oct. and last March. If you post your finds and make posts on other finds, and basically get to know some of the regular guy's on the forum than you will have a great shot at being selected. One neat thing is I have made some really great friends and get invited to hunt with them the day before Div starts. They have two a year and the amount of relics that are found will astound you! You need to keep a watch on the forum for the next Div hunt sign ups. This upcoming Div is Div 10, and the Div 11 already has the entrants picked as well. You will need to shoot for Div 12 which will be next October. The hunts are usually all in the Culpeper area. A good friend of mine is from Richmond is picking me up at the airport in Richmond. Good luck. Tim
Sounds like fun!!
