SVDB Planted Hunt Rules

Recommendations for 2009 - Now OBSOLETE

 

SVDB elected officials and other key volunteers met on July 18, 2009 and recommend the following planted hunt rules:

 

Purpose: The purpose of the metal detector planted hunts is to generate interest in metal detecting, to have fun, to provide a quality hunt experience and to attract people to join SVDB.

 

1.      To comply with insurance requirements every person participating in planted hunts shall be a SVDB member. 

Approved by SVDB Members

 

2.      To provide for the orderly conduct of planted hunts there is a 30 minute cut off time prior to the hunt for signups. 

Approved by SVDB Members

 

3.      There is a $5 penalty fee to sign up on the day of the hunt.  The Membership chairman or designee will collect funds for both membership and hunt fees.

 Approved by SVDB Members

 

4.      The hunts will be scheduled on the 2nd Saturday following the monthly SVDB meeting.   We encourage signups on the meeting date to reduce signups on the hunt day.  

Approved by SVDB Members Until end of 2009

 

Recommendations for Additional Hunt & Raffle Prizes

 

1.      SVDB would purchase a metal detector every other month.  The next detector to be given away as a planted token prize is on October 10th.  The cost of these detectors to SVDB would not exceed $300.  The exception to this would be the annual hunt (Wilton or another site) where the amount would not exceed $400.   Larry at BVD will work with us on purchases.  There will be 4 yearly hunts that have a $300 detector purchases and the annual hunt at $400.    We will run a cost analysis until the end of 2009 to determine if these detector purchases will continue into 2010. Approved by SVDB Members Until end of 2009

 

2.      The cost to the SVDB member will normally be $5 for a coins/token prizes hunt and $15 for a coins/token prizes/metal detector hunt.  The cost to SVDB members for the annual hunt (Wilton or another site) would be determined by the hunt masters, but not to exceed $30.  Approved by SVDB Members Until end of 2009

 

3.      The Christmas raffle would allow SVDB to purchase a metal detector from a manufacturer for roughly 1/2 of the MSRP.  The SVDB cost to purchase this detector would not exceed $500. Approved by SVDB Members Until end of 2009
