Objective:
Go metal detecting and find something shiny.
Details:
1) Acquire a metal detector. Ask around and see if you can borrow a detector from a friend. Rental is also an option, depending on where you live. This objective is worth 400 points in acknowledgement that obtaining a detector may take a fair amount of planning for some of you.
2) Choose an area to metal detect in. Beaches are usually a good choice, as you may find items lost by beachgoers, and digging in sand won’t disturb the environment. If you choose a non-sandy location, please make sure you’re allowed to dig in the area, and do so conscientiously.
3) Head out for a day of metal detecting! Spend at least two hours searching for treasure.
4) Take a photo of your of the items you dug up and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your hide in our Facebook group.
