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!

Went out for a weeks long treasure hunt and Bruce the Digger landed something he has never found in over 30 years of Treasure Hunting, a nice shiny 1900-s Silver Dollar! Found at a old park near Beatrice, Nebraska.  This nice old coin was also only 3 inches deep!  It might be a find of a lifetime.... for now anyway.
