The Annual “Lost Treasure Weekend” hunt, at The Blackthorne Resort in the Catskills was held June 15th through 17th, 2018.  Last year my review of this event wasn’t too positive, however, this year’s review is much more favorable because this year I had a better idea of what to expect, and I also felt the event had actually improved.

I procrastinated a bit over whether or not I was going to attend due to my previous experience.  In the end though, I decided to go because 1.) They allow dogs, and 2.) I knew so many people who were attending that, regardless how I feel about seeded hunts, I knew I would have a good time.

Permits:

For those of you who hunt in New York City, here is the link to get your yearly detecting permit:  https://www.nycgovparks.org/permits/metal-detector

Even if you don’t regularly hunt in these areas, if you live within driving distance it’s a good idea to get one (they’re free), because you never know when an opportunity might present itself.

Note:  Don’t throw your old permit away, because they ask for the old one each year when you reapply.
