Howdy Folks!
Here is a video, with some photos, taken at Sapulpa Oklahoma where we enjoyed the Indian Territory Treasure Hunter's Club annual open competition hunt.
Day one was hot, above 90 degrees, and the humidity left me dripping wet all day long. Being from a semiarid state, it was tough on me! But I did pretty good anyhow, and got 2 silver Morgan dollars and a gold coin out of the deal, so ain't gonna complain much about things like weather.
For the first time in competition, I helped a few other folks find their targets when they were purely unable to find them. Using my DX-1 probe, I was able to come down right on top of their target so they could reach under the probe tip and fetch up the target. Some of those folks said I gotta get me one of them things! Guess I should ask for commission from Sun Ray or something.
Anyhow, here is the video, and some photos for your enjoyment.
My take was:
106 wheat pennies, not including what I turned in for prizes.
16 Mercury dimes, not including those I turned in for prizes.
1 silver round, .999 pure silver, 1 full troy ounce of silver.
2 Morgan silver dollars (both dated 1921, hence, Denver mint)
1 gold dos peso Mexican coin.
In addition, I came home with 106 wheat pennies and 16 Mercury dimes.
Prizes won for finding marked coins also included a $20 dollar bill, a $25 roll of Susan B. Anthony dollar coins, and a $20 Lowe's gift card.
Not shown in the video were three tokens I turned in at a local dealer who took them in trade. Each token was worth $2.50, and I got a book about hunting gold in the raw.
Hope you enjoy this video.
