Seasonal Hunts

​

The Pilchuck Treasure Hunting Club makes every effort to conduct two seasonal metal detecting hunts each year: the Randy Ruotsala Hunt held in the spring and a Fall Hunt. Typically, we hold these at Silver Lake's Thornton A. Sullivan Park at Everett, Washington.   

​​

Randy Ruotsala Hunt

This year is like the previous years: we've set the date for April 11, 2026. For a mere $20 entrance fee, you have a chance to swing your metal detector to find coins, silver, and tokens. The tokens you turn in for the corresponding prize.
