Default Win a pro pointer!

Anyone seen this contest that Garrett has? Best find story wins a pro pointer. They do this contest each month. Someone has been picked for June already though.

You never know!! Whats great about this contest is you don't have to find a gold coin to think you have a chance to win, your find could be something simple.. In Vaughan Garrett's own words...

"My criteria will be based on what excites ME the most. It may be a great find, a great story, a great photograph, a great history lesson, or maybe a great heart-felt emotion."

Hmm I did not notice that part. Maybe some of my sorry finds could end up helping me out. I'm not working with any pinpointer so that could be my reason I'm having a hard time. Plus my detector is junk too. lol

Sorry wasn't sure where to put it. I just figured contest section would be good. Wasn't thinking about member contests at the time.

Are they looking for stories about items found with a Garrett detector?

That's what I figured. Perhaps I could just omit mentioning a detector brand.

Yeah I don't have a Garrett detector but would love to get a Pro Pointer, I plan to get a Garrett detector when I am able to upgrade. Money is the issue now or else I'd just buy those 2 items.
