Happy 12th Anniversary American Detectorist!

We're still here! :groovy:

This forum turns twelve years old today! It was founded on October 21, 2009 by angellionel and Epi-hunter.

The staff of American Detectorist wishes to thank all of you who contribute to the forum. We couldn't survive without you!

To celebrate we are giving away a 1717 Spanish Two Reales silver coin (pistereen). The coin features Philippus V and was minted in Madrid. The coin is about the size of a US quarter.

All you have to do to enter is post a comment in this thread. The winner will be chosen randomly from all entries. (Limited to members who were registered users before today, October 21, 2021.) I will use a random number generator to pick a winner on October 28.

Good luck and thank you for being here!

WOW, it feels like 30 yrs! :lol: jk
What a great idea, Tony!
Thanks!!!

Congrats on 12 years! I hope we stay around for a long time as I enjoy this forum and group of people.

That Spanish silver is a heck of a prize! Did someone dig it up and post it here on AD? ...and now is donating it as a prize? Very generous what ever the case is! Thank you!

Very cool giveaway!
I wonder if the two founders will post on this thread?
Happy Anniversary to AD.

Congratulations AD!! I can’t believe it’s been 12 years. That’s almost as long as it’s been since I post here, well not quite that long, LOL. I’m always lurking in the back ground, I just done take the time to post. Thank you to all loyal AD members.

Congrats on 12yrs. AD from one of the "newbies" .

A neat contest with cool prizes thanks Tony and Dan . Congrats to Don , Ron and Jeff .

SeabeeRon contacted me and stated that he wants his prize to a "regular posting member" so I spun the random number generator again and it came up with number 6 so the mug will go to Cheap Thrills.

Happy to do it George!

To be honest I hadn't read the thread completely when I replied and I didn't realize there were "prizes'! :cool:
Since I post so infrequently here it didn't seem right I should take something from you regular contributors.
See ya all around the forums! :thumbsup02:

Wow, what a surprise! Thank you so much Tony and Del for furnishing those great prizes. I Finally got a silver from the 1700s. Yay

Dang, I missed it. Too busy at work and home stuff right now. Congrats to the winners!
