In the spirit of Christmas, I would like to say thanks to all of you X-TERRA users who frequent this forum. Since actions speak louder than words, I have come up with a contest that should demonstrate just that! As many of you know, I was involved in field testing the recently released Coiltek All Terrain 15-inch coil. As a field tester, you don't get paid for your efforts. But sometimes, the manufacturer allows you too keep the product you tested. That was the case with the Coiltek All Terrain coil and I am keeping the coil I used for testing. After the coil was released to the public, I got an email from "DOC" Lousignont of http://www.docsdetecting.com thanking me for writing the eBook and helping with the Coiltek field tests. As a token of his appreciation, Doc sent me one of the comercially available All Terrain X-TERRA coils. Thanks Doc!
Well, after discussing this matter with Doc, I've decided to offer the brand new Coilteck 15-inch All Terrain X-TERRA coil that he sent me as part of the GRAND PRIZE package for this X-TERRA Christmas contest. And since this is a special Christmas contest, I'm going to offer 4 different prizes for the top four "guesses".
The GRAND PRIZE winner will receive the brand new Coiltek X-TERRA coil, a copy of my eBook "Understanding your X-TERRA, and one of Doc's famous SwingyThingys.

The contest is simple. Guess the number of IH cents in the picture. The person who guesses the closest will win the Grand prize. In the unlikely event of a tie, (no one guesses it exactly but both missed by the same amount) I'll flip a coin to determine who gets first place and who gets second. The person who comes in second or who has the second closest guess will win a copy of the eBook and a SwingyThingy. The person who submits the third closest guess will win a SwingyThingy. And the person who submits the fourth closest guess will win a copy of the eBook. PLEASE..... ONE entry per person. If you enter more than once, I'll only count the first entry. So before you make your guess, look through the others to see if someone else guessed that number.
These are a portion of the IH cents that I've found in my years of detecting. I've attached two pictures so you can get a better idea of the size of the pile. Look over the pictures and put your brain to work!

To enter, just put your "guess" in the subject line of your response to this post. If you want to make a comment, please put it in the text portion of your post and not the subject line. The contest is now underway and will end at precisely 9:00 PM CDT on Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Any entries after that time will not be counted. At the end of the contest I will contact the winners for your address, so I can mail you the prizes.
Special thanks to Doc http://www.docsdetecting.com for providing the SwingyThingys for these contests.
And thanks for "understanding" that I wanted to give this coil to another X-TERRA user, as part of the Grand Prize in this contest.
Again, thanks to each of you for stopping by and sharing your interest in the hobby and the X-TERRA. May each of you have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! HH Randy
