Our annual hunt is coming up quickly. We will go over the rules the day of the hunt, but they are pretty much common sense rules. This is a no frills, low entry fee hunt. The token prize ratio will be about 1:1 and each token is valued at minimum of about $25. So if you find one token, you’ll get your fee back in prizes. Some prizes are valued at several hundred dollars.
Date of Hunt: October 10th, 2026Where: Camp Bowie Memorial Park 2501 Memorial Park Dr, Brownwood Texas
Registration: Begins at 8:30 AMHunt: 10:00-11:30 AMCost: Early Bird entry $25 to hunt

Raffle: We’ll sell tickets for our gold coin raffle so bring some extra cash. They are $5 each or 5 for $20. 
Bring a chair as seating is limited. Refreshments will be available (drinks & snacks) Bathrooms are onsite. Have fun!!
This hunt will go on rain or shine. Bring a raincoat and a jacket just in case. If severe weather happens, we’ll wait it out and then proceed with the hunt. 
Tokens: The prize tokens are stamped and painted a certain color. We have used this park several times in the past so there is a possibility that stamped tokens from previous hunts are still out there. If you find a stamped coin that isn’t painted in the color I show on the 10th, it does not count towards a prize. No Exceptions. Rules:
No digging shovels permitted. Handheld diggers, screwdrivers, trowels, etc are allowed. Coins will be just under the surface. Cover all holes and pick up any trash. Failure to do so could result in a ban for future club hunts. Headphones are recommended, but not required Additional rules may be announced at the hunt
Hunt Area:
The hunt area will have a flagged perimeter. The coins will be buried the morning of the hunt by volunteers. We will section off the hunt area to divide the coins up evenly. If a volunteer is hunting, they cannot start hunting in the section they seeded and will have to wait until a set amount of time has passed before checking that area. Prize Tokens: I will personally seed the prize tokens equally among the sections, as I will not be hunting. Myself along with several non hunting volunteers will randomly draw numbers to give each prize a number. At the conclusion of the hunt, we’ll all meet at the pavilion to hand out prizes and draw the raffles.
This is by no means a perfect hunt, and we are human. So any issues that arise during the hunt will be dealt with through the club members. We appreciate your understanding.
Get familiar with your detector as this hunt is about speed. You don’t want to have unexpected issues with your detector the morning of the hunt.
And most of all, enjoy the hunt and mingle with the other hunters.
Thank you to everyone who has already signed up, plans to sign up, bought raffle tickets and sponsored our hunt. Without all of your support, we could not hold this hunt.
