Any word on the hunt yesterday in Richmond? Any good finds?
People really paying 80 bucks to hunt an old farm? Is there something else included for that 80 bucks?
Yes tpmetal, people pay $80 and a lot more depending on the venue.
Since you asked, the $80 entry gets the purchaser access to 120+ acres of a VIRGIN farm with history back to at least 1741. Very sketchy info puts it back to the 1680's but I'm quite sure on the 1741 minimum date. The property also had a school on it from at least 1851 to 1938, how much earlier or later is unclear.
The land has been in the same family since the 1950s and has never been detected, not even by the one guy with permission to do so, me.
Also included is coffee, water, snacks, raffles, a seeded area, and swag bags for the first 25 who bought tickets, and a port a potty.
You also get to meet Stefdigs and possibly be in her video of the hunt. At our last hunt in Richmond, RI videos of the hunt were made by Quarter Hoarder, Stefdigs, and Wickid Digger and plenty of participants ended up in those videos which is fun.
Then there is the camaraderie that comes along with a group hunt and the chance to meet others in the hobby and make new friends.
Not everyone likes group hunts, but plenty of people do.
For instance, B.O.N.E. charges $100-$150/day for a natural hunt or $400 for 5 days.
Digstock's next event is $175 for the day with a t-shirt and lunch.
And Nugget Noggin's event a couple of weeks ago was $397 for a one day seeded hunt.
I may be bias, but I think $80 for this hunt is pretty reasonable.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].
And yes, tickets are still available!
Interesting. Guess I should get out into civilization more often.
It all depends on whether or not you like civilization!
Like I said though, group hunts aren't for everyone.
Plenty of people enjoy the solitude of being out there with their machine, but a group hunt can be a lot of fun. And when the owner of a nice property is offered a good chunk of money to let people detect their land, it certainly helps with gaining permission.
Got any planned in ny?
all I can say with certainty is that those coins are in very nice condition and they're pretty rare finds indeed. Not knowing the individual, I'm not going to pass judgement without solid evidence.
As far as the other issue you mention with the Capped Half and Morgan Dollar, all I can say with certainty is that those coins are in very nice condition and they're pretty rare finds indeed. Not knowing the individual, I'm not going to pass judgement without solid evidence
