Participating in C.A.S.H. Bash Competition Hunt In Connecticut, page 14
Winning National Metal Detecting League Championship With US 5 Dollars Gold Coin
Because Primo found a substantial amount of tokens in the first hunt, he was included into a group of the best four metaldetectorists from New York State to participate in the last hunt. He was excited, and we wished him good luck. We also tried to hide our wishes of being in this hunt as well.
Primo In Action
Everyone Wanted To Be A Champion!
Nobody guessed that Primo would beat all the weathered and experienced competitors - he found 19 tokens! He was the best because he knew the secret of winning at the comp hunt. It is very simple: do not run with metal detector all over the field-stay in one part and get the most out of it.
Primo won the title of the National Metal Detecting League Champion! Plus, he took home a medal, a trophy, and a beautiful collectible US Gold Coin - Half Eagles 5 Dollars 1/10 Oz Fine Gold Coin.

Well done, Primo!
We were really proud of our buddy! Too bad a brand new metal detector was not for grabs this year! Anyway, we were taking some trophies back home. And we all won the best prize - we had a great, full of fun, collective experience with people united by the best hobby in the world!
I was amazed that to compete in 2005 C.A.S.H. Bash Competition Hunt, detectorists came from eight states: Ohio, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Washington State! We'll come back to Connecticut next year and compete again because we all had a blast!
So did the Cows At the Farm. They snapped out of their boring daily routine and were happy to see so many strange people wondering around without visible purpose. The farm animals could not hide their excitement.
And I believe that there are still a few Pine Tree Shillings left in the cornfields!
Happy Hunting!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
In January of 2020, I started a one-time fund-raising campaign in attempt to accumulate enough money to buy a simple but reliable 4x4 vehicle. My old 4x4 car (made in 1995) had faithfully served me for 10 years before it eventually went beyond repair last October. Without a 4WD, I will not be able to get to my hunt sites and test-plots hidden in the remote wooded areas inaccessible by a regular car.
Unlucky for me, those sites are the only locations available and suitable for my field-work which results in informative articles you can find on this website. For the past 10 years, my usual field-work has consisted of field-testing the latest metal detectors and accessories, experimenting with some of them, and devising new effective search methods that meet the requirements of the new metal detecting reality.
Before my car died, I managed to finish a couple of interesting detector-testing projects which will be covered in my upcoming articles. But other equally important projects that I was working on were not completed and had to be postponed until the Spring 2020. I hope that this fund-raising campaign will help me get a decent 4x4 by then so that I will be able to resume my work and to write more new articles, tutorials and guides based on data gathered through testing and experimentation.
If you find my website useful and would like it to provide more essential info for you and other detectorists worldwide, please consider chipping in $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can afford to keep MetalDetectingWorld.com growing in 2020. I promise you, it will be money well spent. Thank you.
