Our second competitive hunt of 2026 was held on September 19, 2026 at Buckroe Beach in Hampton, VA. The weather was perfect. Just a little wind, a few clouds, and mild temperatures. The beach was freshly power raked and powder soft which made seeding for the hunt very easy. We started setting up around 8 am and enjoyed coffee and donuts until we started around 9:15 to a small group of hunters ready to find the tokens.

Getting Set Up

First Hunt

Warm up hunt just to make sure everything works correctly.
This hunt usually only lasts about 15 minutes but givers everyone to work the bugs out
and get used to others styles and techniques as well as set the pace.

Second Hunt "Main Hunt"

This is where the correct pace and technique really come into play as there
are a lot of tokens as well as clad coinage on the field to find. If you take
too long looking for the find you might miss out on another token.
Our hunt masters do a great job of using a variety of metal types for the
tokens so if you notch anything out you may miss a valuable prize.
This hunt usually last about 30 minutes and rarely is there anything
left on the hunt field afterwards.

Prize Winners

All sorts of prizes from Display cases, Coin books, magnifying glasses as well as silver dollars and painted special design coins. We had a great assortment and
everyone that hunted took away at least one prize.

Not All Tokens Found

In a first for us, not all the tokens were found within the competitions timed rounds. Two of our dedicated members decided to stick around and give the hunt field a slow going over and eventually found the missing tokens. Thank you for taking the time to hunt for those missing tokens.

Thank you to everyone for coming out and joining us for the hunt. It was a great to catch up with those you don't see at every meeting.

Thanks as always to Susan and Robert, our Hunt masters. We are grateful for
everything they do behind the scenes to purchase prizes throughout the year to
get the best prices, plus organizing all the tokens and calculating the target hits per person.

See you all in the Spring of 2027 for our next hunt!
