Before the hunt, all participants drew one playing card out of a deck. Nothing was mentioned except to hold onto them until later. The first hunt was a competition hunt. The fields were planted with identical denominated Mexican coins and painted pennies. |

| The second hunt was a progressive hunt with Mexican coins with random letters of the alphabet taped to them. Members hunted 5 fields, but could only move on to the next field after finding 4 tokens. |
| After hunting, the participants took their 20 tokens to their assigned groups to make the best metal detecting related sentence. After people coming close to completing sentences but missing letters, Alan gave each team two wild card plain tokens. |
| Group 2 wins with the sentence “Chicks love going metal detecting but all Jim ever finds is junk stuff for your happy pappy” Group 1- “Boy its work yes you must join the Central Fl Metal Detecting Club yes enjoy its fun” Group 3- “Happy man tis he that hunts my gold treasure today back in warm Florida” Group 4- “The old kings war site was pounded by our VIP group club hunters WoHoo!” Group 5- “We found our four coins with a Whites wand in Sanford Fl January” |

| All winning categories group or single won a silver dime. After all awards, the playing cards given out before the hunts were exchanged with corresponding cards on a table. These cards had numbers on the back to correspond with prizes numerically numbered on a prize sheet. Prizes ranged from silver quarters, dimes, halves, dollars, Canadian Loonies and mint coins even a proof set! Not bad for a free hunt. It is good to be appreciated! |
