Yeah, the same here. This latest VTH has got me wanting to go out and find some real targets. It's been a long time since I've found anything appreciable. :-)
Not to sway voting but just to inform you about the dragon pentagram.
It is a Peter Stone Pentagram & Dragon Pendant He is somewhat known for making occult & pirate jewelry that is kind of cheap. I think he's more than a company then a person.
You had some great finds in this round. The yellow gold, mother of pearl elephant earrings are quite popular as they are believed to be lucky. Lucky that is, unless at the time it was lost it was being worn by a goat with pierced ears...You must admit it's interesting that a lucky earring and the cult pendant were found in the same area! Mary
EXCELLENT narrative, action shots, and sceneshots... just what I visualized for VTH3.
You really made it "virtual" and I wish you were more than our Alt!
Well, folks, fear not- though hopefully none of us will have problems that make the services of our fine Alternate Digger necessary, his time in the limelight is not entirely over- the "halftime show" between Round 6 and Round 7 is the domain of the Alternate Digger, so Gary will be in charge of those festivities!
psst- from what I unnerstand, he has some giveaway up his sleeve, and I hear it's gonna be... uhh... an interesting one...
Can't wait to see what Earl has for us.
I guess I'd better start thinkin' about where I am gonna dig R7, since it is not dug yet.
Ahoy, Ye lanlubbers better be polishing up those boots.....it's snowy and muddy for this round!!!!
37 to 48 are now open!!!
BTW....I have decided to let the Cap'n pick a number between 37-48.....Person who gets that number actually will win the booty for that digging!!!!! That number will be posted by him tomorrow!!!!
This is a very dumb ass thread. - Laura Sperber - Tuesday January 09, 2007 11:16 AM
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
Really, maybe you shouldn't have opened them all at once, Earl, but oh well. We can stretch some of the other rounds out later, to make them fairer.
And I think Zot said he might be opening some by day in Finland time, to give the late-night/super early-bird folks in on this side of the pond a chance.
I gotta log off soon and head off to errands and work for the night.
But I look forward as much as any of you to seeing the results.
Earl has told me he doesn't have many pictures of this round, beyond the usual target lineup.
But he is making up for that by offering a little twist giveaway on the side... as he hinted, he asked me to pick a number before the round was open, and I did. Whichever person gets that target number will win not only the virtual credit for "finding" that target, but he/she will also be sent the actual target that Earl dug!
I hope I picked somebody a lucky one, and not a crusty 1982 zinc cent!
Earl or whichever other DD happens to be online can moderate the rest of the R4 entries. Target #41 is next...
There, now perhaps it would be best if we waited until Earl or another Designated Digger is online to moderate entries for Targets #42-48. This way we can avoid any confusion.
BTW, whoever wins Earl's "secret number" side giveaway in this round will not be the first to get an actual piece of VTH3 history. I gave 30AnvZ28 Target #3, the old oil lamp mechanism he picked, when he visited recently. Took him digging on the site, too. One target I found there might become part of Round 7 later.
I am headed off, now.
Please wait until another Designated Digger is present and calls for the remaining Round 4 targets.

Hey, the twins were born in 2003! How did you do that???
Thanks for all your help!
We may need to call on you again, so keep that magic wand warmed up.
Poor Mary...took the brunt of the teasing

You make it look easy. ;-)

Bummer about the machine John. With 5 wheat cents, you were probably minutes from being silvered.
Silvered in seven targets? You suck, too!
EXCELLENT narrative, action shots, and sceneshots... just what I visualized for VTH3.

That pentagram & dragon pendant is a great find!
Overall, several great finds already now - after three rounds. We've gotten silvered in all three rounds so far!
Thanks again to all of the diggers and donors.
I suppose everyone remember the first time they were silvered? Mine was VTH-3!
Both BentFork and I have PM'ed him to let him know he's up next, so we'll just have to wait and see.

<< <i>Missed two rounds and got in one round, I still might have some chance.. >>
EVERYBODY still has a chance- the game is only 1/4 complete, and our "big guns" have yet to show their stuff!
BTW, TKC, your coin package goes out today.
Got a PM from eyoung429... he lives!
So we can stop hounding him with PMs. He will likely open up Round 4 soon.

Since Earl opened it all up at once, who'll take #38?
Step right up, #38...
One at a time, and in order, please! Call off your numbers!
38 please... thanks!
Next?
Target #39, anyone?

I believe you guys have a pretty cool game going on here. Prizes or no prizes, you would probably still have a lot of action with this thing.
