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.

An inch of sand movement can be the difference between finding this and missing it. I checked the same hole within 2 hours....2nd time was a charm.

As soon as you enter the water you become part of the food chain. A Great White was spotted near the north end of the island I am now hunting. The south side is looking like the place to hunt...

even as a kid i all ways told everybody, " as soon as you leave dry sand ever thing will either bite you, eat you, or sting you" gotta love the beach!!!

If you pick up trash and don't throw it away properly then you are littering as well.
Take a kid metal detecting, seriously. If they are to get technology, wouldn't you want your child doing this instead of online crap?

 

[Hag730]

How about 213 ? Add a zero in there and it makes 2013

Oh well...

When you are in the ocean and all the small fish are jumping out of the water and racing in one direction, they are running away from something, do not wait to find out what that something is.

Day 2 guess: 179

Day 3 guess for me - 171

Another find from this past October

 

[bill from lachine]

Day 3 - my guess 63.

Words of wisdom: carpe diem = seize the day.

Probably one of my favorite finds in 20 years of detecting - due to my deep respect for our veterans past and present.

WW11 volunteer service medal....found at an out of the way picnic/green space.

2...I dont know everything, but what I dont know isnt important.

 

[Crispin]

Lookindown: I have agreed with every post of yours up until this one. I find you to be an intelligent man and I value your opinion. I would ask you to reconsider..."What I do not know IS most important."

Best regards,

Crispin
