Time for a giveaway... just... because (winner... ZOHAR!)

lordmarcovan

Just post once here to win a "surprise package" of inexpensive Darkside coins. This will include some Bahamian proofs from the 1970s, as I found a bunch of those in a recent bulk bag buy. The others will likely come from the same bulk bag. It will be a modest giveaway, but I'll make it interesting, and will likely throw in something non-numismatic like a fossil shark tooth or two. Who knows what. The fun for me will be figuring out what to toss in there.

I'll draw a winner sometime around the end of the month.

IMO, you aren't a true collector if you don't enjoy the prospect of finding or getting more random/unknown stuff into your possession!

Count me in, and thanks

Also, what is with these forums? I posted after ajaan, yet my post appears first, with a time stamp of 2 minutes before his post...

ajaan

Nice giveaway, please don't include me.

Yes, the time sequence of posts has gotten all hinky. Just like the preview function and my Upload Box. Random features of the site are succumbing to obsolescence vis-a-vis the newer browsers, I guess, and falling of with rusty "clanks" here and there. It's been a gradual decline. I noticed the recent screwy sequence thing has now crept into my PM history.

I just hope the whole thing doesn't come crashing down soon, and there's a patch of some sort that our kind sponsors can install.

Otherwise, I guess I'll see y'all Across The Street.

Ooh, my Darkside collection is declining, which means I must acquire more! Count me in!

Nope, I am keeping those! One of these days I will discover a comet that will bear my name...for the six months or so before it destroys the earth!

A comet is a frozen ball of dirty space ice. How are you going to write your name on that? Spray paint?

That would be hilarious, now, wouldn't it, Dear Dead King, considering 90% of the coins you'd win came from you in the first place!

Aethelred

Hey Ajaan, this is just like the old days, you and I hijacking one of LordM's threads!

ajaan

Who me??? Hijack a thread? Rumors, rumors.

LochNESS

I always wanted a shark tooth dare I say ... wrong forum? *running to hide lest I get banned or whipped*

DeiGratia

Thanks

Thanks Rob

Thanks for the chance

I am only posting in the hope of getting a shark tooth for my son. If I happen to win please keep the coins and just send the tooth

marcmoish

I'm in but strickly chanced for benefit of Aethelred.

lordmarcovan

A couple of folks have expressed an interest in a fossil shark tooth, so I'll be sure to put at least one nice one in there, and maybe a couple of smaller ones. I just bought a big batch from a local buddy who finds them up the road from me. Very close to where I live, actually. My daughter and I have found a few ourselves.

LochNESS

Really, in salt-water marsh land? I've been to Jeckyl, Tybee, Sea and a few other islands out there (and Savannah of course) but never found any teeth

You lords have all the luck!

lordmarcovan

OK, let's give it 'til midnight Eastern tonight, and then I'll pick a winner.

I have put together a very nice assortment of fossils for this giveaway.

The coin portion of it I have not selected yet, but will likely be much more random and a bit more mundane. Expect some Bahamian proof coins, of course.

Anybody else want in before the bell rings?

Oh, hey, Nessie. It's all in where you look. Location, location, location.

You have to find the places where they dump the dredge spoil sand. Out here in the rural western part of Glynn County, where many of the roads are still sand, they use dredge spoil to resurface them, so all one has to do is walk the dirt roads after a rain, with a sharp eye.

It was raining yesterday and I thought some fossil whalebone pieces would round out this fossil lot and some others I am putting together, so yesterday I went to a place I knew I could just pick some up without any hard searching. There is a boat ramp by the Turtle River, just a few hundred yards away from where I live, and its dirt parking area is surfaced with dredge sand. It was raining lightly at the time. I stepped right out of the truck, and pow, there was an Isurus hastalis- extinct Mako shark tooth, lyin' there all pretty, perfectly exposed. And within three minutes I had seven pieces of whalebone. I put one of those and the Mako tooth into this giveaway lot, so somebody is about to win my finds from yesterday.

Look me up if you're ever in this neck o' the woods again. I'll take you to some spots where I can practically guarantee you'll find a fossil or two.

Dont find fossil shark teeth here in ND, have found fossil horse and buffalo teeth though. Even some arrow heads after plowing fields.

Zohar

So here are the fossils Rob was very kind to send over:

lordmarcovan

I found that whalebone fragment myself, just a stone's throw from here.

Andres

I was just reading this thread (again) and I'm a bit disappointed the pics from Zohar's new teeth were already gone

I found this big one, in the dredge spoils on eBay:

Zohar

Actually here they are.

Swampboy

Wow.
A mini natural history museum.
