Please help...trying to win some shipwreck treasure

[Dechert360]

Hopefully this shameless post is allowed..I'm trying to win a treasure/pirate themed pumpkin carving contest for a silver cob.

If you go to facebook and go to Spanish Main Antiques look for the pumpkin contest and PLEASE like the photo of my daughter and I in the pumpkin contest....I would be truly grateful! I've always said I would never buy my first cob, This way I wouldn't have to. We spent hours carving the map and working on the details.

I made a video (not monetized) showing the detail inside and out:




Thank you everyone and happy hunting!

If any of you have voted for my daughter and I, we truly appreciate it. Voting ends today at 5pm and either way...she and I had a ton of laughs and made some really great memories. Mom is also happy that we cleaned all the shavings up from the living room so it's a win win. Thank you again if you've helped us on this journey.

She may look tiny but she's almost 6 and very intelligent for her age. She's my mini me, my best friend and even has her own detector. Everywhere we go (even parking lots) she looks around for "treasure". I trimmed down an old bounty hunter I've had for probably fifteen to twenty years. (One my dad bought me when I was younger so I could go with him). We have watched a different Pirates of the Caribbean movie each day of the contest too as she can't get enough of them. Sorry if I'm getting sappy...I'm just very lucky and I realize it everyday.

Based on what I see so far on the "Likes", you & daughter should not have any problem winning this!

It would be incredible but I'm not celebrating yet. If we do win we're going to take a road trip to the store to pick it up instead of having it shipped. The ship contestant has a few photos up of his, each have between 80 and 90 likes. Now the contest does say "Please note, although some contestants sent more than one photo only one “like” per ENTRY will be counted as a vote. !!!! Example if you like multiple photos of one style pumpkin and you like all there photos it will only count as 1 vote , but have fun and we will make it very fair"


I don't know how many of those additional likes are duplicates or how many are counted so we'll see. All I do know is how long three days can seem when you're in a contest and hoping to win. Haha. I'll finally sleep good tonight no matter what.
