Ahh... but we already know the reason not to go for the cash. Morgan has told us he is afraid that his Pistoldetector will be confiscated if he wins the prize. So he does not want to attempt to win the prize.
But if he goes treasure hunting in the civil war relic areas with a large congregation of observers, he will be safe, because the crowd of observers will not permit anyone to take away his pistoldetector. The average treasure hunter from the South has great respect for the propriety of a person's personal property, and takes a dim view of anyone conducting foul play on their turf. I already have visions of some big dudes piling on top of an idiot who attempts to take away Morgan's pistoldetector, and pounding the idiot about the head until he is senseless. However, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to try this in the southern USA.
Now that I think about it, It seems like Morgan would be safe attempting to win the $25,000 prize, because it will be conducted in the same general area. If you read the rules of the contest, it specifies that any individual who attempts to win the prize will not be required to show anyone the insides of their LRL or to have the LRL confiscated. The only inspection of the LRL is is a visual inspection of the outside it to see that it does not use methods of traditional metal detection, magnetometry, or radiation detection, so the test is limited to the LRL only. The rules state:
"Proctor may visually inspect the locating equipment, but will not open it". I would think the people watching this test in North Carolina would be very careful to see that nobody violated this or any other rule in the test.
But it is up to Morgan to decide what he wants to do on his vacation, not the skeptics of this forum. I think if he decides to look for relics in the civil war battlefields, he will find there are many long-time buried objects in these areas such as brass buttons, belt buckles, musket balls and numerous other metal items... maybe even buried gold bars intended to be used by the armies to buy supplies.
