Hello all...
This past weekend was a great time at the 7th annual Lost Treasure Weekend at the Blackthore Resort in the Catskills (NY)...
There were 4 seeded hunts and 5 scheduled natural finds hunts... We also had a list of places (pages) to go anything we wanted...
The staff was great and food was good to amazing... I meet folks from all over the country (mostly Northeast)...
Friday we visited 5 locations with 2 school busses full of folks... We had from 60-90 minutes at each location with Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included... It was 90-93 - Brutal heat... I drank 100+ ounces during the day...
I was able to recover 11 items from the seated hunts including: $5 Silver Certificate, 1 Oz Walking Liberty Silver, Kennedy 40% Half, 1967 Mexican Un Peso (10% Silver), 1922 Mexican Un Peso (72% Silver), Silver War Nickel, 2 Merc's, 2 Buffalo Nickels, V Nickel, and a pocket knife...

At the first Natural Hunts I recovered a couple of suspender buckles, an 1865 Indian head Penny, 2 Wheaties, a Makeup case...

The next night's Natural finds hunt was at a pounded site called the Yellow House... We hunted right up until it was dark... 1918 Merc and 1919 Wheatie...

On sunday after the last seeded hunt and lunch we hit 2 locations... The 1st one was a bust so we spent almost 5 hours at the next site until sundown and our tongues were dragging on the ground... We were dog tired... but it was worth it... I recovered 3 buttons, a Sterling Bracelet, 2 Mercs, a Buffalo, 4 Wheaties, and a pile of clad... I dug the most amount of pulls tab I've ever done at one location... The ground at this location was a wet very sticky mess... kind of like that plumbers stuff...

I plan on going back next year... The social aspect was just as much if not more fun that all of the detecting... Not stop action, good food, toss in a bunch or raffles, and a few doubles of single malt scotch was the right recipe for a memorable weekend :-)
HH ALL!
