WELCOME & TUITION


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.

SEARCH & WIN


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.

DUNCAN'S STORY

The Story of Why I Am Doing This

Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Duncan Bell born 1950. I have spent most of my life outdoors farming and mostly plant hire. I drove bulldozers most of that time within my own company. I have retired Hish !

Let me begin with the symptoms, “SOME OF THIS YOU MAY NOT WANT TO KNOW!” What I have, so you get to understand my predicament, this gives you then an understanding of health difficulties, which are still ongoing and no return.

  • My background & medical history

    Way back I lost the sight in my left eye due to getting a steal splinter from a chisel embedded. Safety Glasses were worn, I had just bent down to take them off and put them away. That left me with my same eye but no vision. Two years back this played up and I ended up with a plastic tube inserted to keep the pressure down.


    I was told I had angina, so I have a spray for that, then I had severe chronic Pancriatitis, Gall Bladder removed, then a heart attack that led to me to having 5 stents placed front and rear. The last stent was put in five years ago and just two days after that, I was told I had a rare cancer called NETS “neuroendocrine“, I will not go into details about my left arm I managed to make a mess of.


    This cancer is in quite a few places in my body, neck, stomach, liver and so on. It took its toll, I had a major operation to remove most of my stomach and now I am left with SBS “small bowel syndrome” which means I needed to have a Stoma Bag permanently.


    I then started suffering with severe stomach pains which now have led to me having kidney problems to such an extent that I am now on Dialysis three times a week. 

    In hospital I thought I would help to payback the good work they are doing.


    I was asked to go on a patients committee to help ELHT “ Blackburn Hospital” to gain NETS cancer credibility. With this, a new position was created for a specific nurse to cover NETS and this led me to the idea of using my land to raise funds to keep this position open for people following me. So I am still known as the guinea pig for this cancer, which covers new treatment ongoing treatment and fault finding. 


    I was told back in September 2023, I think it was, by the oncology doctor, that the cancer had doubled in the last three months so they referred me to The Christies. They came back and said it’s too late and all they suggested was to up my cancer treatment from every four weeks to three weeks, and that’s where I am at this moment in time.


  • My thoughts on fund raising

    I have already planted some Christmas trees to sell to the hospital for the nurses to raise funds for the cause, and I have been racking my brains on how I can use my assets to be more useful. This has led to me and my good friends forming a company called Hidden Treasure Ltd. We hope to raise local funds to help our local community. I think if we can help our own first, like raising money for hospitals, dialysis, people living rough, helping feed people, and if we can help people that genuinely need help, that would be great. Your Ideas would be welcome. 

    Duncan
