A Heart of Gold


Tucson, Arizona.
For nearly a decade a small group of metal detector enthusiasts have held their monthly meetings with lots of prizes and member finds and speakers of interest. Five years ago they started holding their annual planted coin hunt open to anybody with a metal detector for a small fee. Many nice silver and older American coins are planted or given away at the event along with many other assorted prizes for the participants. They named the club Detectors Unlimited because of the varying interests which their members hunt for. Some hunt for coins, jewelry, gold nuggets, meteorites, relics and military artifacts among other things basically anything containing metal that makes their detectors beep. A year in the planning there annual Big Silver planted coin hunt scheduled for October 1 2005 at freedom park in Tucson Arizona nears it final stages. Along came hurricane Katrina and the devastation that followed our gulf coast.
Bill Southern who is a metal detector and accessory dealer from Morristown Arizona who owns and operates the countries foremost internet web site containing forums on metal detecting decided to help out hurricane Katrina victims in his own way. Bill started by placing a gold nugget he found detecting up for raffle with the proceeds of the ticket sales to be given to the Salvation Army. Well that was just the beginning and a landslide of donated items to raffle by forum members came pouring in, in an incredible show of support. The prize list so far contains at least a dozen gold nuggets and gold ore specimens, a one ounce gold bar, a half ounce platinum proof bullion coin , old American silver dollars, silver bullion coins and a bar, an Arizona Mining claim, gift certificates and assorted meteorite specimens. As the raffle sales approach the $5000.00 dollar mark all Bill could say was. I knew many of the people on my forum were generous and caring good hearted folks, but it?s unbelievable just how much! Bill decided to hold his raffles at the Detectors Unlimited Big Silver hunt where there will be a group to witness the results and the club has pledged a sizable purchase towards his raffle.
