Treasures In The Sand 2014

Our 6th annual Treasures in the Sand, held September 5 & 6, 2014, has now come and gone, months and months of planning and replanning and in two days, history!

This year we changed our venue.  We added a Friday fun hunt and over 50% of registered guests took part, with the major prize of a White’s Pin Pointer going to Raylene Bremner.

The Major Prize winners from the Saturday hunt were:

Sheila Sloan – Garrett Ace 250 and a Garrett Pin Pointer
Ron Sharer – Tesoro Silver Sabre and Whites Metal Detector
Frank Grunert –  Garrett Pinpointer
George Shatko – White’s Bullseye Pinpointer
Hank Vodarek – Minelab X-Terra 350 Detector

When all was said and done we ended up with 102 registrations, and six cancellations for a total of 96 people hunting, two of which were children.

People seemed to enjoy our Silent Auction, as well as the Toonie Hunt.  And many people walked away with great prizes.

We once again sold all 400 WestJet raffle tickets, bringing our total donated amount to the Penticton hospital to $24,400.  The lucky winner of the WestJet Tickets was Jim Hinchcliffe of Winfield, BC, who was also present at the hunt and seemed thoroughly overjoyed.

All in all….it was a great hunt with great people…and we can’t wait to do it all again next year!!
