help with riddle?

hey, our local radio station has this secret sound game going and the jackpot is up to 6,000.00. no one has guessed it yet and it is racking my brain. thought i'd post some clues and see if someone might have a clue. the sound it makes it like a ping sound and the clues are, you can either hit it hard or strike it rich. it takes two objects to make this sound and one is bigger than the other. there is atleast one verb and two nouns.

some have guessed, cow bell getting dinged, slot machine, that's all i can remember now.

i'm racking my brain as to what can be hit hard, or struck rich. anybody have any clues?

I would say that it's one of those Hi-Striker games that you play at carnivals. The ones where you swing the giant hammer and ring the bell. You do have to "hit it hard" in order to ring the bell and win a prize (which I guess could be striking it rich).

How about a metal bat hitting a baseball? And hey, do I get half the jackpot for helping? LOL:D

"strike it rich" is a phrase used in many sports: golf, baseball, bowling, etc. Maybe it's "hitting a golf ball", "putting a golf ball"

"hit it hard" is also a term used in golf.
