It is a huge open field that is seeded the evening before. They have a few people from their team do an all-night vigil to secure the area, so no stray metal detectorists go and try to get a head start on finding coins. On the last part of the event the 100+ contestants all stand at the perimeter of the field with the metal detectors held up in the air. When the host sounds his air horn or sets of a skyrocket the event starts and we put our &quot;coil to the soil&quot;.. We have an hour and a half to detect and keep the seeded coins. There are normal clad dimes with counterstamps of numbers on them, 120 exactly. Those are to redeem the bigger prizes back at the main event tent. When the prizes are redeemed and the event ends we are allowed to go back to the seeded field to keep searching. I am sure not all silver coins are found and could be buried until the following year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
