Get Ready for "Six on the Beach" in Ocean City NJ!

The East Coast Research and Discovery Association (ECRDA) invites you to its sixth annual open hunt. Join us on May 16 & 17, 2015 in family-friendly Ocean City NJ.

Hundreds of THers will compete for a truckload of prizes, including top-of-the-line detectors, a beach-load of silver, gold Reales, and more. Your registration includes two adult hunts each day, with an optional Gold Hunt, and lunch on both days. Raffles all day, too. Our popular Kids Hunt is on Saturday for junior detectorists up to age 13.

Glad to oblige! Our club met on Tuesday and we now have some details to share. Prizes for that weekend will include a dozen detectors, including a Minelab Explorer and a Whites V-3i. T Last year's prizes included gold coins & bars, silver proofs, and uncirc sets, even some really cool items from the NY / NJ Gem & Mineral Show.

Below are some photos of the coins and other stuff that THers won at last year's hunt. Prizes will be similar this year. Prizes for the Kids Hunt included detectors, a couple of bicycles, hobby kits, and more. Our club will be adding more stuff right up until the hunt.

There's an optional Gold Hunt on Sunday -- one out of every 5 hunters will win. Prizes include 1/2-gram and 1-gram gold bars, 2-peso coins, and a 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle coin. And we'll be raffling off Reales and such both days.

BTW, you've all probably heard that Minelab won't be doing a hunt in Atlantic City. We're expecting a lot of people due to that -- so in order to not drive ourselves crazy, we're capping registration at 200 hunters.
