It is a fun, family oriented coin hunt along with a gold panning contest and other events. Plan on attending to hunt and also meet old friends to talk about detecting finds.

Thank You Jerry for your excellent post... I believe it is about

the 22nd annual event. Over the years I have never missed one!

eleven great hunts... all coils are allowed... headphones

are mandatory...

They plant the field for each hunt carefully. It is subdivided

into sections and each quarter is planted equally. Actually, this

event is now well known and well attended. believe it is

now the best attended annual event in southern California

There is a hunt or two for everyone, no matter your skill level.

I hope there will be a lot of "first timers" entering one of the

events... they are not "competition"... just fun... and to get out

on the field and "beep" and dig a target... well it could be just

a clad coin, or a token good for a neat prize! You will enjoy the

memories for all of your life... no matter how well you do...

Actually there is a special hunt for ol' guys and gals from 65-74.

Also another for those over 75...

However, the gals do not wish to let their age be known (Just

Kidding gals!!) I'm only 39 and wear a holloween mask and for

some mysterious reason, I'm able to sneak in with the "old"

plus 75 guys and gals. And I suspect, but can't prove, several of the

plus 75'ers are actually 85'ers.

I wish the West Coasters would set up a plus 85 division so

these guys and gals would not continue to "cream" us plus

75 youngsters. (Confidentually, I'm now finding it

harder each year to get in the kids junior hunt for age 12

or younger. The kids now suspect I'm 13 or older)

For those boys and gals who like to move fast. There is a

competition hunt... for whomever can find the most (usually

pennies) in the hunt... So if anyone feels competitive, get

in this event... And even if you are slow... ya' never know,

(remember a stopped clock is exactly right twice a day,

and it may be your "hour." so start practicing.
