I have been going to rallies since the early eighties and had some laughs
along the way. I have enjoyed making friends with fellow detectorists and
to put up with whinging from the minority. What I miss on rallies are the
buried tokens that gave a chance of a prize if your weekend had been dry
of finds. There used be a prize of a metal detector for best find of the
weekend but people abused that by bringing their own. Their used be a case
of finds made over the weekend but thefts put paid to that. Clubs used to
used to put up displays. Iam just been sentimental Smiley Smiley Smiley

We are planning a rally for nearer Easter which will feature a small token hunt for Easter eggs, Rob. Hopefully that will bring back some happy memories for you.

Great idea Geoff  !

Im a big fan of token hunts and Chocolate  Grin

If your having a very average days detecting its nice to look for something that your knows there and just needs walking over

Having looked around a lot of forums  token hunts are very big in the USA maybe because they havnt got the metalic History we have in britain.

Might be a good idea for a future  rally. Maybe use a farm detecting wales have already been too charge £10 £15 pounds a head for the chance to win some great prices

all the best

I won a mountain bike as first prize at a rally in Nottinghampshire many years ago , the problem I had was to get it home in the car, I ended up taking it to pieces to get it in.!!! they buried numbered Yale keys, mine was No 1 and it was in the middle of stinging nettles which everybody had walked around not through. !!! Cheesy Cheesy
