#HMOFOUNDIT
You went out. You worked the ground. You found it. Now show us.
This is your page. Your finds. Your glory. Every nugget, every gem, every relic the creek gave up — this is where it lives.
How to Enter
- Use what you’ve got. Your current gear. Your way.
- Find something. Gold, gems, relics, fossils — whatever the earth gave up.
- Post a photo with a timestamped date.
- Tag #HMOFOUNDIT here and on all our social pages.
That’s it. You’re in the monthly raffle. No hoops. No forms. No purchase required. Free to enter. Always.
Every find this month = one entry. No limit. Entries reset each month, so the more you prospect, the more chances you have to win.
What Counts?
Gold. Gems. Relics. Fossils. That weird rock you can’t identify but can’t throw back. If it came out of the ground and made you smile — it counts.
Prize Details
1–2 winners each month. Prizes are handmade tools and gear crafted personally by HMO. Each piece is one-of-a-kind or limited-run, built for people who work the land for real. Winners announced the last Friday of each month. Prizes vary — could be a gold pan, a production sluice, one of our highbankers, or even one of our bundle packages.
You have to enter to find out!
What Winners Do (Nothing Extraordinary)
If you win, you receive handcrafted gear made directly by HMO. In return, we ask for three things to help our community:
- The Unboxing — Post a quick video or photo of what arrived at your door.
- The First Find — Show what you pulled from the ground using the new gear.
- The Review — Drop an honest review of the gear right here on our site.
That’s it. Honest feedback helps fellow prospectors make better choices. We don’t control your words — give us your real take, good or bad.
Win the Gear. Then Do It Again.
When you win, the cycle doesn’t stop — it starts over. Unbox. Prospect. Review. Share. That’s how legends are built on this page.
Gear ships to the people who are actually out there doing it. Handcrafted by people who get it.
We built this brand for people who get their boots muddy. This page is yours.
Help Us Build This Better
This isn’t just our campaign — it’s yours. So we want your take on how to make it work better:
- Prize types: What handmade gear would be most useful to you?
- Review format: Video, written, or both? Any preference?
- Submission ease: Should there be a simpler upload path than social tagging?
- Timing: Monthly feels right? Quarterly? Different rhythm?
- What’s missing: Anything you wish was included that isn’t?
Drop your thoughts below. Tag it #HMOSUGGEST. We read every one, and if we implement your idea, you’ll hear about it when we announce next month’s winner.
