Since I ain't so loquacious with my verbiage as the others, I'll get straight to the finds.
Equipment: Whites IDXpro with 9.5 inch coil, big shovel, pinpointer, full battle suit for site #2(ticks....Year round in these parts), and my lucky hat(see picture in first post).
Site #1: Super secret pointy rock site. Not much metal here other than bullets. Full coinshooter mode.
Target 133:Spiffy469- King George facing left half penny. Mid 1700s. From this spot I picked up anything I could see, without moving, that wasn't metal. 2 Native American scrapers, 3 pottery pieces, and a glass bead.
Site #2: Woods in my back yard. Seabrook, NH. Relic mode. Lots of trash, but I've been out there enough times to know where to avoid.
Target 134: walkerminus1- Flat button with intact shank.
Target 135: Dockwalliper- Old costume jewelry.
Target 136: laserart- A silver ring with fire opal and small finger adapter.
Target 137: SpecialK- A Ferrari
Site #3: Back to the Mill site in Amesbury Mass. I gave up trying to take field pictures. Good thing I didn't drag my camera along. As soon as I got to the site it started raining. Within a half hour it turned to freezing rain.
Target 138: DesertRat- ??? It was deep and has some weight for a pea sized chunk of metal. What you see is exactly how it came out of the ground. Gold nugget from space?(see main picture for size)
Target 139: loditom- A glass button. My first, and a complete, unbroken piece is high on my find list.
Target 140: Riccar- 2 Barber dimes from the same hole. 1896 and 1892. The 96 is sweet in hand. Gold tone AU details.
Target 141: dan8402- A key hole to a pirates treasure chest...................minus the chest
Target 142: marym- 1907 Barber dime. I want to see a group shot of all your VTH3 finds.
Site #4 Super secret cellar hole site. This was at the end of January and the ground was frozen. Many targets left that I can't dig until the thaw.
Target 143: Omega- A Civil War era artillery button. My first letter.
Target 144: Bochiman- Buckle found a couple feet from the button.
I'm seriously at a loss for words to tell you guys how much fun this has been for me. I can't believe the incredible luck I've had getting slots in EVERY round, and gawdddddd the targets have been AMAZING!!! Of course, it goes without saying that without our dedicated diggers, who seem to be at one with their detectors, deserve 100% of the credit for the success of this VTH. Bravo Gentlemen!!
Awesome VTH hunt you guy's put on it was alot of fun,but the the quiz question's for a spot were just to much for my little brain to handleinfact it's still smoking from all that thinking
Thank you to all the donator's and digger's for putting on a great virtual hunt for us. I will have to check back in to see who won the prize's as I will be in Oregon for a week,hopefully pillaging some treasure from my ol' stopping ground's. So if any of you on here are in or near Medford keep an eye out for me,I'll be the crazy fat guy in short's,t-shirt and a dirty black ball cap swinging and SE trying to scrounge up some of that silver and gold in the area
How Many Marbles? Marta distributed 100 marbles among five bags. Bag #1 and Bag #2 together contain 52 marbles. Bag #2 and Bag #3 together contain 43 marbles. Bag #3 and Bag #4 together contain 34 marbles. Bag #4 and Bag #5 together contain 30 marbles. How many marbles are there in each bag? ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '' ' ''' ' ' ' ' Answer:
Bags #1, #2, #4, and #5 together contain 82 marbles. Therefore, Bag #3 must contain 18 marbles. With that piece of information, you can figure out how many marbles the other bags contain: You know Bag #2 and Bag #3 = 43 marbles; you know Bag #3 = 18 marbles; therefore, Bag #2 contains 25 marbles. You know that Bag #1 and Bag #2 = 52 marbles; therefore, Bag #1 contains 27. You know Bag #3 and Bag #4 = 34 marbles; you know Bag #3 = 18 marbles; therefore, Bag #4 contains 16 marbles. You know that Bag # 4 and Bag #5 = 30 marbles; you know that Bag #4 contains 16 marbles; therefore, Bag #5 contains 14 marbles.
As it stands LA, we have yet to decide a clear winner. But I thought I was the clear cut winner. Careful, they may decide to use the Hori Hori knife to cut up the gold piece and give everyone a "pieces of eight"
One eighth of an eight is better than a peanut butter sandwich.
