Topeka Treasure Hunt 2022

Posted by Nathan Schwenke on

Had a blast at the 2022 Topeka Treasure Hunt.  We did very well, alot of silver coins and got lucky with 1 gold coin.   Also won 3 minelab pinpointers!  There was about 135 people from all over the Midwest who attended this hunt, it started out very wet as there were a few thunderstorms that rolled through before we could get started!   Looking forward to 2023!

Silver Monday! - A great day to start the first day of Spring!

Posted by Nathan Schwenke on

We got access to some awesome permissions on a old farmstead and another older part of town.  We did really well on the first day of spring for 2021, a great way to kick this virus stuff behind us!  Hopefully many more great hunts for this year!

I finally found my first Barber Half Dollar and boy was she a pretty thing, it was about 7 inches down under a tree at one of our favorite places to detect.  Also found a few other coins and some neat artifacts, probably the last hunt of the season with winter around the corner.  You can watch the Awesome findings with us Here:
