ABOUT
This is an online-only raffle with a unique and exciting difference in that you are buying a ticket to win one of five chances of being invited to go and search outdoors at a nearby location, using your skill as a metal Detectorist to find secretly buried Hidden Treasure Cash Prizes by using our advanced metal detection equipment and techniques.
To enter the draw, buy one or more raffle tickets from this website, by filling in your details, which must include your name and email address. The more tickets you buy, the more chances you will have of winning one of the places at the Hidden Treasure Search Event. For each ticket you buy, you will get an email showing your ticket number and the date and time of the draw you have entered.
On the date of the draw, 5 fortunate winners will be chosen from all the entrants using a gambling commission certified random method. These five will then be notified by email and invited to come along to our next Hidden Treasure Search Event, which normally takes place on a weekend day within 10 days of the draw date (weather dependent). Full details of the Search Event's location date and time will also be given in the email.
HOW IT WORKS
If you are successful in our raffle, we aim to bring to you an exciting new raffle winner's experience by involving you in a search for buried treasure using metal detectors. Each raffle ticket winner will be invited to our land in Darwen to take part in finding buried hidden treasure.
Each winner will choose their search location by a draw process. Coloured markers will define the areas where the search for the treasure hunts will take place. Each area will have one hidden treasure capsule containing a variable cash prize:-
1st Prize: £1,000
2nd Prize: £500
3rd Prize: £300
4th Prize: £200
5th Prize: £100
There will also be buried coins within the search areas, which in turn will be vouchers of various descriptions and values.
We guarantee that each winning ticket holder will come away with a cash prize and possibly other prizes, plus the satisfaction of knowing you are helping others like the NHS and people in need of your help.
How it works in Short
Menu
On arriving at the specified time on the day of the Search Event, the winners (now called the Detectorists) will be greeted by the Hidden Treasure Team members and be given details of what to expect during the event and shown an example of a metal capsule of the type that they will be searching for. Each Detectorist will then be randomly assigned their own separate, well-defined and specially marked search area.
The Detectorists will be shown how to use the primary surface metal detector to attempt to locate the special metal capsules by scanning the ground and noting any significant change in sound volume from their detector(s). During the search, the Detectorist will be asked to identify the location of each 'find' by inserting a marker flag at the location of each one detected in their search area.
After getting a positive detection from using the primary surface detector, further close-up, detailed searching using a small, hand-held metal detector called a ‘pin-pointer’ can be done to home in on the suspected ‘find’ during the digging-up phase.
The Detectorists will be taken to their designated search area by the marshals. At the centre of each search area, each Detectorist will be given a professional standard, surface metal detector and a canvas bag containing digging tools, the hand-held 'pin-pointer' metal detector and some marker flags.
When all the Detectorists are in position at their search areas and ready to start, a siren or horn will be sounded to indicate the beginning of the searching time of 20 minutes. A 'time running out' warning will be given by the sounding of a siren or horn 5 minutes before the end of the 20-minute searching time and again at the end of the searching time.
At the end of the search time all Detectorists will be asked to make their way to the Hidden Treasure Gazebo bringing with them any 'finds' they have made where they will be inspected and converted into the actual cash prizes and given to the appropriate finders.
After the prizes have been awarded, everyone will be invited to take part in a short celebration, where our team will take photographs and record short video interviews with the prize-winners for use on our website and social media pages. Your consent to the use of this material is automatically implied by your attendance at the Event.
