Volunteers were chosen to stay at the seeded parks to prevent other people from detecting before we can get there. One year 140 pieces were planted but only 40 pieces found during our hunt.  

Members will meet at Wickham Park at 9:00 AM. Rules to be explained, maps given out and the fun will start about 9:30 – 10:00.
