[gregd573]

sorry to take so much time before this post, had to get a little nap in after getting home......thanks ridge- runner, schloopy and I'm almost sorry that I missed all the fun, Friday night (after CTH activities that is). For all those folks that was not able to attend.........ya really missed one heck of a good time!!!! Let me say that I would not want to take anything away from last year and JD, as his hunt was great and the start of some great friendships for me......but ya all know that if you keep at something your gonna get better at it and that is what Burdie, Stoney56, metal-granny and all their family did. The took something great and improved on it. I comend you all on a job well done. This is memories that I will have until next year....when we can meet again. Speaking of again.....I again took a camera and only come back with a couple of pictures.....but thank goodness Nana took her wonderful A$$ (charlie) with her...you da Man, Charlie, if it wasn't for you....I would loose valuable detecting time....(just one more, nail...pleaseeeee...)....thank you. Anyway, it is late so I will post more tomorrow....Thank you all as I had a great time and I am so looking forward to when we can get together again..................I guess winning the 1897 GOLD 5$ piece wasn't so bad either. I can't say thank you enough to everybody.....Burdie, Stoney56, Metal-granny.........and all your family help. Happy Hunting all...........gregd573

Greg,

My pleasure to have met you. I had a wonderful time with you and the crew this weekend. You're right, it's a shame not all could attend. Though, it's events like CTH that let us know where our next hunting partners are coming from. You are not that far from me so that's incentive to get together and hunt in my book.

Take care buddy and congrats on that Gold.....I shoulda took it off your hands!!!!

I had a great time. I haven't been detecting long and there aren't any detectorists around here, so it was a real treat to be there. I learned so much. I would encourage any newbies to attend a group hunt. The skill level of some of the folks there was amazing. I find a couple of bits of wire in the time some folks filled their pouch!! I spent a lot of the time talking, listening and watching. I learned techniques, saw many different brands of detectors, and even was allowed to use a few. I can't thank you all enough for being so friendly and helpful. Even my A$$ had a great time ( I knew she would).

Thank you all for a GREAT time

Greg, glad you made this one. Hope your mom keeps warm this winter, I know the Pendelton will help. Next time though, sit to the back of the room. That way you'll get at least a little exercise getting to the front.

Gregg,

Your allright, I don't care what Stoney says....just kidding
I enjoyed getting to visit with you. Congrats on that gold coin. Hope to see you again.

It was great to meet you. The road trip and rescuing RR from the Indian Maiden was fun Hopefully we can get together again to swing and dig in the dirt.

Greg,

If you had gone out with Eric in Kansas, Ridge Runner, Mastereagle, Schloopy and I, we would have gotten you in trouble and you would have had to bail yourself out of jail using that gold coin! Good thing you got home with it.

Enjoyed meeting you and looking forward to the next one.

Hey

You said you were going to give that coin to me before you left. I look up and you were nowhere to be seen. I see how you are !!!!

Great coin for a great guy. I enjoyed hunting with you and hope to see you at the next hunt.

Great coin for a great guy. I enjoyed hunting with you and hope to see you at the next hunt.

[Mental Granny]

Greg you are the luckiest thing let me tell ya, Gee wizz, hope your mom likes the blanket for Christmas. And I cant get Hunter to tell me how much you paid him to get your ticket out of the bucket!!!!!

Had a great time visiting with you hope we can see you again sooner than the next big hunt.

Oh, by the way I heard Burdies offer is goig down by the minute, next thing you know he will only offer left over raffle tickets !!!!

Evy

 

[Noodle]

You know what I remember about Greg? I think it was the 5th or 6th or 7th time his raffle ticket number came up (out of 8 or 9 being called):

The number was called.

Nobody answered.

The hall was silent.

Then I hear this little small voice from the next table:

...

... ... "damn."

Even HE knew something was suspicious!

Congratulations, Greg! Your face was something to behold when Burdie offered you $350 for the coin you had just begun to hold in your hand.

And with all the other stuff you won, Christmas is taken care of!!

I was thinking a priceless gold coin such as this one should be going up in price, with the gold market as it is an all..........I guess I could let it go for $475.........lol. Really, there is a lot of memories wrapped up in that $5 gold piece...I really need to fix up a nice little frame with some other Cauldwell goodies..thank you Stan.
