So we want to partner with Friendly and bring you a cool contest. We need ideas! Reply with some cool ways to win!
How about a "Train a newbie" contest?
Someone who has been detecting a while takes a new guy out in the field to teach him the ropes and make a video of this experience and show their finds.
We all started at one point and I think sharing the tips and tricks in person could be a great help to those who are kind of lost or just looking for someone to hunt with and share this great hobby.
The trainee get the benefit of hunting with a pro and learning, the pro gets a chance to win a prize and meet other people from the forum and hopefully both parties can make lots of friends in the process.
The pro with the most trainees, finds and video takes the price.
I think this would be interesting to participate in and watch
Whacha think?
Pretty cool actually!And of course only the trainee's finds would count and the trainer could concentrate on video and pointers. Sounds tough but would make winning more worthwhile.
How about guessing a number from 1-1000.
How about a monthly contest for a decent prize where either Vlad or Carol give KellycoChick a US coin type, denomination, and date of a US coin over 100 years old. IE: 1898 Indian Head 1 cent. That would be the secret coin to find for that month. You could even do multiple coins to broaden the chances.
The forum members would have a dedicated thread to submit photos of their finds and details of the hunt and recovery. If nobody nails it exact, then the person coming closest to the secret coin would be the winner. Contest would start on the 1st day of the month and end on the last day of the month. Only finds submitted to the thread would be eligible.
It would encourage some of the lurkers to start posting.
