The BCDC raffled off a new Tesoro Compadre off at the October 2017 meeting.
Congratulations to Larry for winning the metal detector! I am sure you find some good stuff with it!

2017 FALL HUNT PREP: The BCDC Hunt Committee prepared an incredible 2500 coins and tokens for the 2017 Fall Hunt!  The Hunt Committee also prepared 50+ prize packs including a Garrett AT Pro-Pointer, a Minelab Go-Find 60, a Nokta Impact Pro, proof sets, 300+ silver coins, 1682-1725 Peter the Great silver wire-money, the Boobie prize, and much much more. The BCDC would like to thank it's sponsors for their great donations.


PRE-HUNT SEEDING: Members arrived early to seed the hunt field and get the food and prizes ready for the day's events. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. Adam provided a breakfast of donuts, apple cider, and Yoohoo. Special thanks to the 'seeders' who planted 2500 coins and tokens in the field. Always a grueling task for sure.

THE HUNT: We had a fantastic turn out for the 2017 BCDC Fall Hunt. Members surrounded the hunt field and the main event began with a shotgun-start. There were so many different types of targets to dig up. Members were told to be on the look out for 10 special gold-colored tokens and 4 large foreign coins that were for 2 'special events' following the main Hunt to celebrate the Club's 10th anniversary this year.

POST HUNT COUNTS & PRIZES: BCDC members counted up their totals and cashed in their tokens for silver coins and prize packs. We also had a great picnic buffet which included Doris's rigatoni, Rich and Rhonda's pineapple kielbasi, a 6 foot sub, and more. Curt won 2 fantastic coins including an 1886 Morgan dollar, Bill won the AT Pro-Pointer and Adam won the Nokta Impact Pro metal detector.

THE BCDC TREASURE CHEST: A surprise event was added to the BCDC Fall Hunt to celebrate it's 10th anniversary. 10 gold-colored tokens were buried in the hunt field. Members who found one could trade it in for a key. Only one key opened the lock on the BCDC treasure chest. Members lined up and tried their keys to no avail, and then it was Curt's turn. CLICK! OPENED! Inside was a Minelab Go-Find 60! Congratulations Curt!
4-COLOR HUNT & THE POKER HUNT: Four members who found a foreign coin on the main hunt field qualified for the 4-Color Hunt. It was speed & strategy. Each member drew a color. They had to dig 5 of their color coins on a mini-hunt field that included decoy coins. Paul was the fastest finding 5 of his color & won a 1 oz .999 silver eagle coin! Congratz Paul! Members also participated in the Poker Hunt! Four teams of five. Each member went to a special field & dug a quarter with a playing card corner on. Two pair won it!
