10 attempts are enough! One will mark the place and start to dig under control of one observer... the diameter of hole must be also defined by rules... e.g. max 16'' or you will lose...
Sure you use coat hangers to locate the treasure. This is done in about 1 second. Then take out the D9 only for recovering the treasure. This is done in about 3 hours, by scraping the top 4 inches off the test field and dumping it into a shaker screen that will separate the sand from the larger stuff -- same as the sand scoops beach detectorists use for recovering coins and jewelry. Since there is no rule in this contest for size or shape of the hole, this is a good method for recovery. You dig a hole the size of the test field and 6 inches deep, after locating the treasure in about 1 second. (maybe a 994 loader will work better to recover the target because you need lift up the dirt to dump it over the screens)...

So using a tractor for recovering treasure is really smart, because it can help to win the $5000 prize when recovering the treasure from the first hole dug. And it only cost about $500 for a day rental of a 994 with driver. After winning the prize, you can go to a real nice restaurant and buy dinner for yourself and the loser, and also you can buy a new metal detector to replace the coat hanger wires, and still have money to put in the bank when you get home.

Best wishes,
