Important !

  IMPORTANT  NOTICE  TO ALL ATTENDEES

DCR rules PROHIBIT detecting other than in the sandy beach areas … we’re very lucky to be able to hold our hunt here.

DO NOT DETECT ANYWHERE but in the DESIGNATED areas.    

BYOL: Bring Your Own Lunch !  (No alcohol on DCR parklands)             

Some snacks [packaged] and drinks will be served by the club. 

Thank you for your support.  We wish to be able to come here again for future hunts and I’m sure you do too!

PLEASE prepay if possible …  more of your hunt fee comes back to you as prizes and finds.     The more entrants – the better the prizes… we can only base this on the number of  prepaid entries.  

Some equipment reminders:   

~No pinpointers or large oversize coils. Be prepared to hunt on “all metal”, use your simplest detector, signals will be easier to hear and are close to the surface.

~No sand scoops * or belt-worn sieve baskets allowed; only digging trowel or knife  

~All entrants are required to use HEADPHONES

*sand scoop with handle allowed if you are disabled
