FMDAC Club Hunt in Arizona
There were three metal detecting competition hunts on Saturday the 6th. The first was the Gold Nugget Hunt with 73 gold nuggets planted. The second was the Silver Dime Hunt with 850 dimes planted, and the third was the Silver Coin and Token Hunt with about 1,000 silver coins and 59 tokens for various prizes.
Lawry found tokens for a 15 grain nugget and some Garrett accessories. Betty found a token for some Garrett accessories. Lois won the 50/50 Raffle for $42,
Lost Treasure subscription and some Garrett accessories. Lee found tokes for a Garret ACE 250 Detector and a nice set of
headphones.
Everyone came away with their fair share of Silver Coins and I believe a total of nine gold nuggets for the four of us. The nuggets were in the range of 6 to 15 grains for the Nugget Hunt. It was a great day, the weather was good and the hunt fields were in the barren desert in Goldfield. Excellent Hunt.
