Winter Doldrums CONTEST!

[bigscoop]

In an effort to stymie the winter doldrums, TH is allowing me to hold a simple contest. So here's how it is going to work;

I have selected a number between 1 - 300 and the first person to guess that number wins a free book, Florida's East Coast Gold & How You Can Find It. (Seeker41 is keeper of the selected number.)

Rules: Only one guess per person per day. And, you must also include either a picture of a find, your equipment, or a word or two of treasure hunting wisdom. Should be fun and entertaining and might help to keep hunters inspired through these winter months.

Thanks...I don't know if it's a real emerald or not. It is gold that is at least 18K and I found it years ago but never had it checked out. How or where would I go to get it checked?

Remember, all guesses must include a picture of a find or a piece of equipment, or a few words of treasure hunting wisdom.

I would think any jeweler could tell you, but I'd take it to at least a couple of them. Learned this the hard way myself not long ago.

I figured most jewelry store employees would be clueless but there is a mom and pop jewelry store in the next town over that I will take it to. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks

1...the number of targets you need to hit the big one.

bigscoop,

Thanks for the contest.....I'll go right up the middle with 150 as my guess....lol.

words of wisdom:- grid, grid and grid some more....when you finish start all over again from a different angle....boring as heck but it works...

My find a chunky silver chain weighing in close to 2 ounces at a trashy and picked over high school sports field probably passed over as a modern piece of junk by others....when I finish with a site if there's anything left over other than rusted nails or old bottle caps....they've earned my missed keepers.

Regards + HH
