  • Yes...I still like my "Mystery " coin last year. It took a long time to get it clean so I could know what it was. Salt water did a job on that Half.

    Speaking of salt water-damaged silver, I also got this today from the same source as the grand prize coin.

    imageimage

    I bought it with the thought that if somebody would rather have big Spanish silver than small Spanish gold, it could be an alternate prize.

    It's not gold but the shipwreck pedigree is cool. And a silver eight-reales and gold half-escudo had the same face value back in the 1780s.

    I don't think you necessarily missed out. Jerry just went away 'til morning. Your post will probably still get you a slot in Round 2. He just won't be back to moderate it and fill up the rest of the round for a few hours, that's all.

    I was really struggling to get in on rounds in VTH2.
    This time, when I'm a digger, every time I log in there seems to be slots open... imageimage

    Does seem to be a rather sleepy, lackluster response to this at times. Maybe my three-mile-long intro post scared people off. image

    But the game is young.

    Is there still room in round 2? If there is please add me to the list!

  • Schwing! Still looks like enough room in hunt #2 for all of us.

    Please put me down for a spot!
  • lordmarcovanlordmarcovan Posts: 43,530 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well, at least there's some interest, now. He couldn't fill up the round last night, and had to go off to bed with no takers! We were starting to worry that VTH3 was looking like a flop for a minute, there!

    Of course, the fun's just begun. And our heavyweight diggers have yet to strut their stuff. image

    Hook me up with a slot, if there is one.

  • I'd like a spot please, if there are any left. I only get to a chance to check this board on my lunch break at work so it's beginning to look like I'll never get a chance to get in one of the hunts. image

  • Is it on? I'm in if there is still a opening, thanks.
  • I never seem to have good timing with this thing image

    Any slots, count me in, if not, I'll be back!!
  • OK OK...All slots are FULL

    Now I need to put this together.

  • VTH 3 Round Two

    Designated Digger #2 (CROCKofCOINS),

    I took one of the grand kids out Sat. AM. Jan 13th. I had to make it easy for her. So off we go to a school yard.
    It is big..has two parts:
    image

    I just got going and her little detector went dead. :-( I had new batt. but no phillips screwdriver.image

    So she got to play on the swings and whatever. image

    Not much to take photos of when just using the sand scoop.
    I was swinging my White's DFX with the BigFOOT coil

    Things did start off looking like I was going to do REAL good.

    WTG, Jerry! Thanks! I see you got some sterling silver, too! image

    The ball now goes into Designated Digger #3's court.

    But there's a slight snag.

    Round 3 will be split in half and played in two different sections.

    John ("goldrush00013") dug the first five targets of Round 3, but then his detector died. Furthermore, he's got weather issues.

    SO, he will open Round 3 normally, and take assignments for the first five targets (Targets #25-29). Then he will announce the results.

    THEN Gary ("BentFork") will step in and do his duty as the Alternate Digger, digging the last seven targets of Round 3 (Targets #30-36). Gary will open the last half of Round 3 for entries after he's done his digging, and after John has completed and announced the results of the first half of the round.

    Stay tuned for goldrush00013 to announce the opening of the first half of Round 3 (Targets 25-29 only).

    I would imagine it will be at least 12 hours, if not longer, before John comes back on. After all, it is the middle of the night here in the USA. Maybe he will be on in the morning but I don't know.
