BONNE TERRE MINE’S $30,000 TREASURE HUNT
June 4, 2011
This is truly a “Treasure Hunt”. We have over $15,000 in donated products and over $15,000 in donated trips.When you check in, you’ll receive an auction book, which details all the products and trips that have been donated and the auction order.
You’ll dive twice and search in 4 different areas for colored tokens. Between dives vendors are waiting to show you their latest and greatest products and dive destinations. We have several games to play and divers from all over the country to share your dive stories with. We count your tokens after each dive (Dark tokens are worth more than light colored tokens) and give you your auction card after your second dive. You'll use your “auction card” to bid on donated products and trips during the auction. (No cash allowed)
After the last group exits the mine and grabs a bite to eat, we’ll start the auction.

The Treasure Hunt Package includes 2 dives, an event tee shirt, dinner and all the TREASURE YOU WIN! We also have special trail prices for those that can stay on Sunday June 5, 2011.
We hope you'll join us in the Biggest Treasure Hunt in the industry. Click here for more event and donation details. Bonne Terre Mine Treasure Hunt - Donor Prizes

Thanks to Mick, the first treasure hunt winner to arrive at Maya Palms It’s always nice when I get visitors to home here at the resort so Mick, if you just happen to be in the neighborhood stop by and have a beer.
A while back, the other treasure hunt winner of the second Maya Palms trip came to the resort. He happened to be from my hometown. Our families had businesses a few hundred feet from each other. I had the honor of take him on his first saltwater dives. He saw a nice spotted eagle ray ten minutes into the first dive. He thought he should have gotten a couple extra pounds of lead and he would have been a little quicker descending. He knew that he wasn’t a big winner until the last dive when he hit several big money chips in a row.
Luck does play an important part in the treasure hunt.
Good Luck to All,
Ken

Hi everyone,

If you are looking for more information about the great experiences you will have at Bonne Terre Mine, and would like to know more about what the place is like, I would like to suggest you have a look one of our past issues of the Underwater Journal (UWJ-issue17.pdf) we did a few months back.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Yes, we will allow the use of lights during the treasure hunt. We asking participants to make sure they are back up lights.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to clear up some possible confusion. This is not a "raffle or a lottery" type of hunt.
You search for tokens and use those tokens to bid on EXACTLY what you want to win.
We have $15,000 in donate products and $15,000 in donated trips.
