Well I hit 5,000 with this post and thought I would celebrate with you all by having a nice giveaway.
Actually it's kind of a dual celebration!
I have been wanting to dig some Civil War artifacts for some time now and just learned that I was drawn as the 19th alternate to attend the 2008 North/South Hunt! It's a private hunt put on by Larry Cissna who owns The Treasure Depot website.
If you saw the Civil War detecting episode of the TV show "The Best Places To Find Cash and Treasure", you saw a similar hunt put on by Larry. ( I believe he does 4 a year)
As 19th alternate I'm pretty much guarrantied to be in the hunt, as the alternates up to #134 made the cut for last years hunt. Provided I have no snags till the hunt, I'll be digging a bonafide Civil War site!

All you have to do is post one time to this thread to win. I'll let her run for a week or two and draw a winner.

Oh yeah! The Prize!
A really nice Hopewell blade (100 B.C.- 500 A.D.) that I acquired a few months back.

Good luck!

    Congratulations, John!

    5,000, eh? Wow, what a young'un. image

    I still have that nice E-notch point I won in one of your past giveaways, on top of my bookshelf.

    I mean the point is on top of my bookshelf. Not your giveaway. I don't think everybody in your giveaway would fit on my bookshelf. I can barely fit my books on there.

    I kept a sharp eye out for pointy rocks on my detector trip yesterday, which was my first outing since VTH3.

    I came across a pretty dense concentration of oystershells, which is almost always a good sign of a vanished antebellum homesite or campsite. I was hoping some 1700s coins or early buttons would appear there. (My second oldest coin, a 1738 halfpenny, was dug across the road from this new cleared site, about eight years ago.)

    My pulse rate went up when I saw the shell midden. (Well, it wasn't enough to call a midden, but it was an obvious accumulation).

    The detector didn't beep once. Nothing but clear air. I soon realized why. I had found an old house or camp site, all right, but it was probably a thousand years older than what I was after. I soon picked up four pieces of prehistoric pottery sherds, one with some cordmarking on it.

    I'll have to scan those, drab and boring as they were. Alas, there were no nice projectile points like the one I found back in the fall. Well, there might've been, but I didn't see any stone. Just shell, and the odd small bit of pottery.

    Be careful, somebody might think you're using a weedwacker and call the police.

    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?
