Simply put, we want to hear what you have to say and see what you have to show about past medallion hunts. Your original material will help ensure that this is the best repository of medallion hunt information there is. Who better to build the must-visit medallion site than the people most obsessed with that dastardly coin? Instructions for submission can be found below.

We accept – no, we crave – original photos, drawings, or stories from past medallion hunts. Contact us with your medallion hunting preparations, memories, annoyances, ...whatever seems appropriate. We can't promise that everything you send in will be posted live to the world, but there's a good chance. Please always note the year in which your material refers to or if it is meant as a commentary on a wider medallion topic in general.

In addition, if you're having a problem with the site that you can't figure out, use this form as well.

This website will only benefit from the experiences of hunting enthusiasts such as yourselves.
