Default I have an fun idea...

When I was in my MD club back in Beaumont, we would have monthly hunts, after which prizes would be given for winners in each of 4 categories...

Wouldn't it be possible/feasible to have TQ "weekend hunts" in which we could all hunt individually, and then on Monday everyone posts their finds, and we could choose winners from diff categories; oldest coin, most $ amount, most unusual find, and most valuable..?

Sounds like fun to me! And an good incentive to get out hunting... (and not chase poodles)

Let me know what y'all think!


p.s. - I'm doing much better - my wounds are healing and my cold is slowly going away... but that dang bruised rib is giving me fits...

Could work. Glad you are feeling better. I know how those ribs can feel, I cracked one one time.
