Here are my finds for the two days. It was my first hunt and I had a ton of fun. I was wondering if it is normal for a seeder to be able to hunt too? It seems like an unfair advantage and one of the seeders won a minelab detector.
No pics of the foreign coins.

Have you seen this person hunting right after he/she seeded? I've done many seeded hunts in the past....never seen a seeder hunt. Btw, Nice hunt.

Yea he was openly talking about it. I heard him saying that because of the rain you could tell where he put the coins since it left little marks and then I was confused because he grabbed his detector and walked out to detect. Also later in the day I heard him joking about not being able to find the items he put out there.

Seeders can hunt they just couldn't hunt there area
Really?
I have NEVER heard of a seeder being able to take part in the hunt (or win a major prize) in ANY club hunt I ever attended - or helped to organize. We ALWAYS stayed out of the hunt and prize giveaways!
I don't like the idea of allowing a seeder to hunt even if they're hunting at a different spot....It just doesn't look good.

I agree but my club hunts which are pretty big allow this. You are suppose to stay clear of your area for 5 minutes. We hit so much in our club hunt I don't think it matters. For a 40 dollar entrance fee I dug about $150 in halves and quarters. On the first day in AC I was asked to seed. I didn't.
Check out my club I made the web site.

What's to stop a seeder from pocketing a special coin to win a metal detector ?
Integrity!
exactly Ron... I have no issue with a seeder hunting... if they pay the money like we do they should have every right to hunt.
We will just have to disagree on this. Seeding should always be done by volunteers that will NOT be eligable for prizes. You would think Minelab would have more "integrity."
They asked Bob and he turned it down so if Bob said yes then he can't hunt?
With the amount of hunters it was a !!!! shoot to find one of the tokens...
They placed 1 out in the first hunt, 3 in the second hunt and 6 in the last hunt.
Minelab and all the sponsors there did a great job...
Again, this is my opinion Craig..
Good for Bob! Sounds like HE has integrity.
Yes, if you volunteer to seed, you should not be able to hunt.

If they asked me and I paid the fee's to hunt, then I would hunt because I do have integrity and would not hunt where I seeded...
Good, Now that everyone got that outta the way, One more word about a seeder I'll close this thread.....
