Butch reveals his secret to competition hunting: go fast and low, and target unhunted areas.

The episode begins with host Butch Holcomb introducing himself as the publisher of American Digger Magazine and welcoming co-host Jeff Lubbert, who discusses his roles in treasure hunting clubs and sales. They announce that longtime co-host Loy Milam is resigning due to other commitments, including evangelism and family. The main topic is the Charles Garrett Memorial Hunt, where Butch shares his competition hunting strategy of going fast and low, and finding an untouched section to collect silver coins. Butch also talks about finding a gold token that led to a humorous dance video shared by KG. Callers join the conversation, including George from New Jersey, a first-time listener, and Steve, who brought a vintage 1967 Garrett detector to the hunt and met Vaughn Garrett. Steve describes the detector's history and getting autographs from various personalities. Other callers like Denny share stories from hunts, such as finding a historic ring at DIV. The hosts discuss the Garrett hunt's organization, prize tokens, and weather conditions. They promote upcoming events like the Eureka Treasure Hunters Club hunt in Colorado and the Chattanooga show. The episode concludes with thanks to listeners and reminders to spread the word about the show and magazine.
