Just wanted to say to anyone new or old to the hobby if you have never
participated in a WWATS sponsored hunt you are missing lots of fun.
Keith Wills, here in Texas, really knows how to make a hunt fun. I have
been trying to get my equal half (spouse) to join me in this hobby for
years, he finally accompanied me on the recent K river hunt held in
Oklahoma this May, and while not yet "hooked" he had a great time and is
still bragging about his finds and token wins. Such will go a long way in
my favor next time I say, "Lets go metal detecting". Any thing that had
that positive impact on this "nothing new under the sun" guy is saying a
lot.
Of course I am still bragging about my finds and goodies, to include the
Whites Prizim detector I got in a drawing. I have been to two other hunts
here and will always return.
As I told Keith I think FINALLY (after close to ten years of hunting
sporadically when I could convince anyone to accompany me ) I got the hang
of these "hunts". I have greatly increased my detector skills due in large
part to these hunts, and the valuable info the various club members
,participants and others have shared.
If you have never participated in a competitive or group hunt, the K river
hunt is a good place to get your feet wet, as it is not the usual fast
paced, people all over the place and in your face, type hunt.
While there is competition, it is all somewhat slow paced and friendly.
And for those of you that are skeptical about people really finding gold
jewelry, rings and diamonds in the ground, trust me, it happens as such
occurred in during this hunt. The ground does hold gold, and nice jewelry
too.
The fun you can have at one of these hunts is hard to describe.....kinda
like an adult Easter egg hunt with prizes. Skill, luck, and determination
and fortitude to compete with seasoned hunter and newbies alike, not to
mention the elements of heat and pesky bugs, and at times rock hard terrain
make these hunts truly a earn while you learn experience. Keith always has
great prizes, and sense of fun, and fairness that makes these hunts so much
fun.
You just can't be around this guy without learning something.
Nearly everyone goes home with something, even if it is a sunburn and new
knowledge of the hobby, or a new friend, a great time is had by all.
Please continue to support this organization, they do many many good things
for our hobby. If you can spare a few bucks pass it along to support the
folks who do so much to support us and our hobby.
I know many involved in WWATS also hunt for gold, which the K River has,
but to me the gold I found was the good time, the wonderful people, great
food cheap, and the friendships that have come from attending these hunts.
Truly a treasure without measure.
