Dan ~ it can be any toy that was found with a detector in any year thumbsup01

We normally have it found in the current hunting year, but since we're all new to one another - it will be from whenever :grin:

I will go re-edit the RULES post, as some of those from this forum may be unsure - thanks for bringing that to my attention :beerbuddy:

**on edit - if the membership here likes the contest, we'll hold one each winter...catch is...you will have to have posted your toy find on this forum @ sometime in the hunting season to be eligible. ;)
 
Wow...this is GREAT! Excellent rules and organization for the event! Hats off to you Judy!!! thumbsup01 thumbsup01

w.w.
 
So we can enter a car, even if it placed in one of the old forum contests? Can we enter restos, with before & after pics?

On the other forum there was a picture size limit. I know there is a posting size limit here but to make all entries close to the same size would be easier to look at them and judge.
Instead of 1 pic at 84:blackeye:680 and another at 60:blackeye:480 and all different sizes. Just a suggestion. :dontknow:

Definitely, would be easier, tho it all depends on the resizing skills of those who enter! I remember Larry posting that his 800+ photos uploaded ok, but you had to scroll across to see the entire photo...and that's not good...

So my suggestion would be 680x450 - you loose no clarity - it is all based on the handler's abilities lol

**Photos taken in daylight are far better than indoor lighting which usually leaves a yellowish glow to most photos**

Thanks Robbie for bringing this up ;)
