THE OFFICIAL SEPTEMBER CONTEST

:omg: LESS THAN 24 HOURS LEFT ( Sept. 30th at 9 p.m !!) WOW TIME FLYS. Edited on 9/29 11:20 P.M :drool:

If I counted correct there are over 15 Participants. That should be enough and increase the odds for you fine people. I know I listed 6 Prizes plus the GRAND PRIZE, but I ADDED some more winners. One it's my first Contest, 2, there aren't a bunch of you and 3, I don't know, just because. The prizes might be SMALLER but it will be 4 MORE COINS. THAT'S A TOTAL OF 10 WINNERS ALL TOGETHER.
If you don't want it when I ask for your Contact info, just let me know, Ok?
Good Luck everyone. Time to see where everyone stands currently, HOPEFULLY UPRIGHT. :hysterical: :hysterical:

ALSO, I'M SURPRISED NO ONE COMMMENTED ON MY SMILEY FACE IN THE PILE OF COINS. :shocked04:
 
That must be the Western/Eastern treasure Forum. They have money and sponsers. These Contest are not sponsered by Minelab or White's. Maybe we can ask them to do something for us on a one time deal, but that's probably all it would be.
The Contests are done soley by the member's. I actually enjoy giving away some of my own collection to the members. Afterall, They are the ones I feel I owe for all that they have done for me personally . So, thanks people, I hope you enjoy your prizes when I announce the winners on the 30th and mail them out. I will probably send then certified, so try to be home or you will have to Pick up at the post office.
 
:bop: etrac !! No problem, you didn't win anyway. You did guess my Birthdate anyway, Seeing how my member name is sal66. Welcome to the forum, though. :cheering:

Ok, everyone I want to first say that I had a fun time holding this months contest. I wanted to do this to pay back all of you that helped me all this time with my finds, questions, and most importantly the well-being of my life. As most of you know, I've had a long Row to Hoe as the old farmers used to say. It means that Iv'e had a long Struggle. Iv'e been sick around 6 years from Lymes Disease and my interest in Metal Detecting has been a good distraction from dealing with all the problems that Iv'e endured. So, for those reasons I Thank You All.

Thank you for the very exciting contest Sal. :clapping: It was a lot of fun.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks again for the very generous contest. :beerbuddy:
 
i would also like to thank you for running this contest it was nice to see a little more participation it makes it a lot more fun to belong to a group like this dennis
 
|:cheering: Thanks guys. There is a lesson here to learn. The next time you see a little pile of change in your car, home or anywhere, REMEMBER, there's more there than you think.
 
Ok people, so far I have some Contact info from some of the Winners. So, I'll wait till after lunch and take what I have then and stop at the Post Office today. Then I'll wait Untill I get the rest so I don't have to make more than 2 trips. So, if you talk with any of the winners let them know to PM me. So far I have 4 of the 10 winners and expect the rest later. I have to go out today for an errand anyway. :clapping:
Now who's the next Contest holder is the quesetion ?? :thinkingabout:
 
Thanks to Sal for the really fun contest, and congrats to all the winners! :clapping:

Very generous of you, Sal! Kudos to you, my friend! |:confused:)
 
Thank you Sal !

What a great smiley face contest!


1958 is a good year, but, you'll agree with me, 1966 is a very good vintage ;)

:congrats: EVERYONE FOR JUST PLAYING !! I had a great time running the Contest. Now I hope someone will take the Reigns and do the next one .
I wanted to prove a point here. That little pile of change in you car, on your dresser, in that penny jar has more there then you think. I had to count it twice because I couldn't believe there was that much there.
By the way, 8/26 is the month and day my wife and I got married in 1995. The 1958 penny was a coin I got in change one day. It's red, I never saw a red copper before and in such great condition. If it grades a MS-67, it's worth $50 according to PCGC Coin Values.
ALERT : I'm still waiting to hear from RAZR and Fire Fighter 43. Anyone hear from them, let them know to check their messages. They have 30 days to claim their prize. :shocked04:verreaction:

I'm off to the Post Office in the morning, I didn't want to make more than one trip. DAN, you can stop by or I can do a drive-by and toss it in the yard. rofl

[size=24pt]CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS. I'M GLAD I WAS ABLE TO GIVE AWAY 10 PRIZES. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A GRAND PRIZE, I'M WILLING TO RE-ENTER THE El CAZADOR SET.
 
:perfect10:

Thanks Sal! I will try to think of something creative for a contest soon... I sure have a lot of hotwheels... I need a HUGE mason jar and do one like how many jellybeans in the jar lol

I'll be thinking- if someone doesn't jump on this before me. I might have to do a November Contest.
